Home by making a contribution through one of the following ways.

CASH
GIFTS
If you would like to make a cash gift, please make your check payable to:
Diocesan Catholic Children's Home
PO Box 17007, 75 Orphanage Road
Ft. Mitchell, KY

CREDIT
CARDS
The Home does accept most major credit cards. You can make a donation by
writing or phoning the following information to us.
- Amount you wish to give
- Type of credit card
- Card number
- Expiration date
- Name on the card
- Your daytime telephone
number
SECURITIES
It is often wise to give appreciated stock because you will receive
tax-deductible credit for the full market value on the day that you donate
it and you avoid paying capital gains tax. If assets have decreased in
value, consider selling them, thereby creating a loss for tax purposes and
make deductible gifts of the cash proceeds. We will be happy to discuss the
best way for you to transfer your shares. Please contact Steven Breidenich,
stevenb at DCCHome dot org, or 859/331-2040 ext. 234.
GIFTS IN KIND
There are many needs within the home that may be met with your gift in kind
contribution. Most household items and children's clothing are gladly
accepted. Items should be clean and good repair.
You may also wish to donate larger items or items that would not be used at
the Home to our Annual Flea Market, which is held in August. Items are
collected year round and may be dropped off on Mondays and Thursdays,
between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. There is currently a need for new appliances,
such as stoves, washers, driers, and refrigerators. We are unable to accept
used appliances.
MEMORIALS
AND TRIBUTES
Any gift that you make to DCCH may be dedicated to the memory or in honor
of a loved one. These contributions are lasting reminders that that special
person has touched your life. The person honored by you will be listed in
the Home's Annual Report, which is published in October.
OTHER
PROPERTY
Gifts may also be funded with assets such as stocks, bonds, and mutual
funds that have increased in value. You not only receive regular tax
savings, but you avoid the capital gains tax on qualified assets given for
charitable use.
