Ways to Give

Donate Your Time and/or Skills

Donating your time or skills is an affordable and impactful way to give back to a cause the is meaningful to you. SNCI relies on volunteers to contribute their time and skills towards our mission of creating affordable and safe housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. If you have experience in building/construction, development, civil engineering, real estate, architecture, and grant writing, we could use your help. Please consider joining our Board of Directors, chairing a committee, or volunteering for one of our events/programs as a way to give back.

 

 

 

 

Monetary and In-Kind Donations

Because we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, all donations made to our organization are tax-deductible. Don't for get to request a receipt for tax purposes. Donors have two options for making donations:

  • Cash Donations: Donors can make a one-time tax-deductible cash donation or can set up a recurring monthly or annual donation. Use the Donate Money button to make your contribution through PayPal. 

  • In-Kind Donations: These are non-cash contributions made in the form of services, expertise, and goods, from businesses or individuals. They are important for keeping the cost of our fundraising efforts low. If you would like to contribute a product, service, or expertise to one of our Raise the Roof fundraisers, please send a email to ourspecialcommunity@gmail.com.  

 

 

 

 

Become a Corporate Sponsor

Corporate sponsorships are a great way to make a difference in our community while creating positive brand recognition for your business. There are a few ways you can become a corporate sponsor:

  • Organization Sponsor: This is a great way to get exposure throughout the year at every event or promotional opportunity our organization has by promoting, advertising, and highlighting the corporate sponsor on all fundraising materials and communications.

  • Sponsor a Raise the Roof Fundraising Event: Each year we hold two Raise the Roof events, a 5k and a dance. Both of these events have a lot of exposure in the community and our sponsors, depending on the level of sponsorship, will also get the same exposure. These sponsorships significantly boost our bottom line by helping to offsetting the costs associated with our fundraising efforts. 

  • Development Sponsor: In order for SNCI to create the community, we need to start raising funds toward the cost of building and construction. These sponsors will contribute toward those costs and will be recognized before and during the construction as well as commemorated in the community once it is built.
