Ways to Give

Monthly giving is one of the most meaningful ways to support our mission year-round. By making a recurring monthly gift, donors provide steady, reliable funding that helps sustain our programs, events, and opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

Even small monthly gifts make a lasting impact over time. Consistent support allows us to plan ahead with confidence, respond to ongoing needs, and continue creating inclusive experiences through arts education, community connection, and life-enriching programs.

Monthly giving is simple, flexible, and secure through our online giving platform, and donors can adjust or cancel their gift at any time. It’s an easy way to make a continual difference and help ensure our community continues to thrive all year long.

Every one-time gift—large or small—directly supports our year-round Arts Academy programs, community events, and inclusive performances like Christmas This Year and our Spring Showcase. These gifts help provide the materials, resources, and support needed to create meaningful experiences for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

One-time giving is a powerful way to make an immediate impact and invest in a community where creativity, belonging, and opportunity are celebrated. Give online or send check to Friends of Club 21 at: 3472 Research Parkway, #104-405, Colorado Springs, CO 80920.

Sponsoring our productions is a meaningful way to invest in the creative work and community impact of Friends of Club 21 while also giving brand visibility for your company or organization. 

Our annual Christmas This Year production and our Spring Showcase are both part of our growing year-round Arts Academy, which provides ongoing arts education, performance opportunities, and creative expression for individuals with Down syndrome.

Show sponsorships help make these productions possible by covering essential costs such as costumes, sets, venue rentals, technical production, rehearsal materials, and participant support. They also help ensure that our Arts Academy can continue offering consistent, high-quality programming throughout the year—not just during performance seasons.

By sponsoring our productions, supporters play a direct role in creating inclusive, confidence-building experiences where participants are seen, celebrated, and empowered to shine on stage. With year-round programming now in place, sponsorships also provide critical stability that allows us to plan ahead, grow our offerings, and expand opportunities for every participant in our community.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, tax-advantaged charitable giving account that allows individuals or families to set aside funds for charitable giving over time. Many donors contribute to a DAF to receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants to the nonprofits they wish to support whenever they are ready to give. Giving through a DAF is a convenient way to plan charitable giving thoughtfully and maximize generosity over time.

Giving through a DAF is a simple, secure, and flexible way to support our mission. Through our online giving platform, donors can easily recommend a grant from their DAF directly to our organization. Once approved by the fund provider, the gift is sent to us and helps make a meaningful impact through our programs and services.

Donating stock is  a smart giving option for donors who want to maximize their generosity in a tax-efficient way while making a lasting difference.  It’s a simple and impactful way to support our mission by giving shares of publicly traded stock instead of cash. When you donate appreciated stock, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes while also receiving a charitable tax deduction, depending on your individual tax situation.

Through our online giving platform, you can securely transfer stock directly from your brokerage account to support our work. Once the transfer is complete, the stock is processed and the proceeds are used to make a meaningful impact through our programs and services.
