We make it easy to create an enduring legacy that ensures you have a lasting impact for the most vulnerable in our community.
There are numerous avenues through which you can contribute philanthropically to Judson Center, ensuring your donation directly enhances the lives of those we support. Every contribution we receive provides essential operational funding, enabling us to uphold our mission of fostering positive change and building a resilient, thriving community
Give to the Judson Brighter Futures Fund!
A gift today will provide essentials to help children and their families live healthy, stable and positive lives, right here in our backyard. Judson Center is more than hope, it’s help. Together, we will help those in need succeed !
For example, a donation of $120 will:
- Provide life-changing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy to a child like Kyle, three-years-old, recently diagnosed with autism
- Secure a warm bed in a nurturing environment for 11-year-old Carly who has experienced unthinkable abuse
- Provide job-skill training for young adults, like Joe, Matt and Lisa focusing on their abilities, not disabilities
- Help Sydney, a child in foster care realize her potential and value through intensive therapy and care
Tribute gifts are a thoughtful way to honor or remember a loved one, or show gratitude for a special achievement in your or someone else’s life. A memorial gift (in memory of) is a meaningful way to remember a loved one who has passed away by making a contribution in his or her memory. An honor gift (in honor of) is a way to mark special occasions (anniversaries, birthdays, graduations) or to pay tribute to an individual who has made a difference in your life. When you make a tribute gift, Judson Center will send a letter to the family members or person you are recognizing, acknowledging your thoughtful gift.
One of the most tax-efficient ways to donate is a gift of appreciated stock. There are many benefits. You can avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value at the time of the gift.

Holiday Wish is an annual campaign that begins in November and fulfills wishes of those we serve for the holidays. Each wish fulfilled is much more than a gift – it brings an abundance of joy and so much more! It is comfort and happiness to children who are in foster care. It provides an opportunity for the young adults in our care to be a part of the spirit of the season, to be included, not excluded because of an intellectual or physical disability. It allows for families in need to have a happy and memorable holiday season full of good times and laughter.
