What would your tax-deductable donation buy?

two homeless toddlers now living with their moms in
independent housing provided by FOCUS.

monthly bus passes to get to and from employment secured
through the assistance of FOCUS’ Employment Specialist

More giving options: Many people have asked if
there are other ways they can help FOCUS reach out to families
in need:
-
A Gift through Your Will - Making a bequest in
your will is a great way to leave a special gift.
-
Corporate sponsorships – Your company or group
can co-sponsor a major event (FOCUS Gala or Spring Luncheon),
or make a gift towards a specific program or capital
improvement.
-
A Gift of Life Insurance - When you name FOCUS
as the beneficiary (or co-beneficiary) of your life insurance,
you can make a wonderful gift by making modest insurance
premium payments during your lifetime.
-
Honor or Tribute Gifts - Make a donation to
FOCUS on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries or
holidays! We’ll send a card to the person you are honoring.
Also, "In Memory Gifts" are received most often upon the
passing of a loved one.
If you would like more information or ideas,
please contact FOCUS Executive Director Kyle Grefe at
419.244.2175 ext. 105 or
kgrefe@focustoledo.org. |

smiling…
because FOCUS helped her family out of a homeless shelter, and
into a safe, warm home of their own.
