Donation FAQ
Why give?
A donation to the Help at Home Community Foundation supports the caregivers and communities at the heart of our industry. With your donation, we can continue to provide critical assistance to home care employees in times of hardship through the Support Fund. Beyond that, your donation furthers the development of our other pillars of support, which are still being built: community and education.
Who can donate?
Anyone can donate to the Fund. The Support Fund relies on generous donations from sponsors and individuals.
How can I donate?
Donations can be made at https://hahcommunityfoundation.org/give via credit/debit card or ACH. You can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring periodic contribution.
Are donations tax deductible?
For questions related to the tax treatment of donations, please contact your local tax professional. Help at Home Community Foundation's EIN Tax ID is 92-2609702.
How do I change or cancel a recurring donation made to the former Cares Fund?
If you wish to change or cancel a recurring donation, please contact fundraising@hahcommunityfoundation.org with your request.
Can donations be directed to a specific individual?
Unfortunately, regulations do not allow for donations to be earmarked for specific individuals. However, all donations made to the Foundation will be used for the intended charitable purpose.
Can I do a payroll deduction to donate?
Not at this time. Once our organization transitions to Workday, we will be able to offer payroll deductions for employees. If you’re interested in setting up a recurring donation, you can do that now via credit card or ACH on our website: https://hahcommunityfoundation.org/give.
Will I receive acknowledgement of my donation?
Yes! Once you submit your online donation, you will receive a confirmation email from WeCare@hahcommunityfoundation.org.
Do I have to contribute to the Support Fund to be eligible to apply for a grant?
No. Donating to the Support Fund is completely voluntary, and eligibility for assistance is based upon need and qualifying circumstances. In addition, no applicant is entitled to receive a grant based on their history of contributions to the Support Fund.
