In-Kind Donations
Donations of Goods and Services Make a Big Difference
Donated goods and services allow Starlight to maximize the percentage of our budget that goes directly to program delivery. Currently, we are able to allocate $.78 of every $1 to programs that serve children and families.
In recent years, Starlight has been very successful in attracting a wide variety of in-kind goods and services, a track record which has helped us earn approval as a member of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
In-kind donations also help us keep our office, programs and events running smoothly. Donors receive a tax receipt for the value of their gift and recognition in our annual report.
