Ways to Give
Gilda’s Club is a non-profit cancer support community where
men, women and children living with all types of cancer, and
their families and friends, come together for emotional and
social support as an adjunct to medical care.
In order to sustain our unique program, Gilda’s Club Board
members, staff and volunteers work hard to build a financial
foundation that allows us to offer our free program to members.
That includes solicitation of donations from individuals,
corporations, grants and foundations. However, in keeping
with our philosophy of a free program, Gilda’s Club does
not charge fees to its members . However, we do welcome and
appreciate financial contributions from all sources to help in
our fundraising efforts.
Make a donation – Financial contributions are the most critical as they help ensure your local chapter is able to support the needs of the community. There are a variety of financial ways to support efforts in the community, including cash donations and pledges, planned giving, matching gifts and stock donations. DONATE NOW!!!
Matching gifts – Double your donation to Gilda's Club Metro Detroit. Check with your human resources staff to see if your employer participates in an employee matching program.
