Why
do people support NEKCA?
People are motivated to
make a charitable gift for many reasons.
You might decide to give:
-
because you want to make
a difference - for a child, a single parent, a family, for the
holidays, or for all of our programs and services
- because you want to
create a memorial to someone you love - by naming a building, a room
or even a service or program in their honor
- because you have an
intense interest in a particular program and want to see it grow and
succeed
- because you are grateful
for what NEKCA did for you, your family, your neighbor, or your
community
- because you are a leader
in your community and you want to support NEKCA and its efforts to
help people to help themselves
- because giving is part of
your financial or estate planning and it has tax advantages
- because you want to be
recognized
- because you do not want
recognition and wish to be anonymous
- because your peers have
given
- because
you want to challenge others to give

- Contact the Executive
Director and provide the name of your broker, the name of the stock
