Changing Lives,
One Journey at a Time

At Spence-Chapin, we recognize that every individual is on their own unique journey and it is our purpose to provide them with the guidance and support they need, every step of the way. To do that, our key program areas and services continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of everyone we serve. 

It is through the generosity of our supporters that we are able to continue to meet those needs. This holiday season, make a contribution that will change the lives of those we serve throughout the New Year, and beyond. We cannot do it without you. 

Be a part of our Everlasting Wall of Supporters—a beautiful installation in our new headquarters that recognizes all of the families and individuals who share in our vision for the future. 

GIVING OPPORTUNITIES SPOTLIGHT

Your generosity means so much to those we serve! Here are a few causes we are highlighting because they need your support. You can also consider a One-Time Donation that provides support to all of our programs and services, or a Recurring Gift that sustains our programs for the future. Looking for other ways to give? Use our navigation below or contact us directly for individualized support at [email protected]. Thank you!

Gift a Share & Care Box

Our new Share & Care Boxes are the perfect gift for friends and family with little ones this year! 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting our Birth & Expectant Parent Services—and help provide our clients with baby supplies, options counseling, temporary newborn care, and much more.

Giving Tuesday

This year, we are dedicating Giving Tuesday 12/3 to our Granny Program—and for every donation, we are giving you a thank you gift! Each gift is hand-chosen from the countries we have our programs established in.

Special Needs Adoption Program

Since 1995, Spence-Chapin has found adoptive families for more than 600 children who are medically fragile. 

This unique program is able to find incredible, permanent families across the nation for children in need of permanent families who are able to care for their lifelong needs. We invite you to become a supporter of this remarkable and critical program.

International Granny Program

For every three months spent in an orphanage, a child will lose one month of linear growth in the absence of proper intervention. The Granny Program provides this intervention by bringing loving caregivers, or “Grannies,” from the local community to spend one-on-one time with each child, every day, supporting 180 children in Colombia and South Africa.

Spence-Chapin Support Services

Spence-Chapin provides counseling, support services, and community programming to children, women, and families every day. From mentorship programs for teens to peer support groups for parents to annual gatherings for birth parents and everything in between, Spence-Chapin is there for families every step of the way…thanks to you. 

As a reminder, certain charitable giving incentives that were created during the pandemic are still in effect this calendar year and allow individuals to deduct up to $300 and married couples filing joint returns up to $600 on their 2021 taxes regardless of how they do their deductions (standard or itemized). For those who itemize, deductions for contributions can be applied up to 100% of adjusted gross income, rather than the normal 20-60%. These incentives allow you to make an even greater impact this year
