Ways to Give
When giving to our annual campaign, every dollar makes a difference in meeting the greatest needs of the current year in our caring for teen moms and their babies. All donations may be arranged through our secure on-line form or by mailing 901 N Harris, Helena, MT 59601.
Cash Gifts
This is one of the easiest ways to make a gift and your generosity will be put to work right away in helping the teen moms and their babies.
Tribute Gifts
Acknowledge a special family member or person who has impacted your life through a honor or memory gift. Consider giving a gift in honor of a special person’s birthday, anniversary, retirement or good deed. Memorial gifts are given to remember a deceased friend or loved one.
We are very happy to send the person honored, or the family of a person memorialized, a prompt acknowledgement of your tribute gift.

Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds
Instead of giving cash, you might want to consider using appreciated stock for some of your giving to Florence Crittenton. There are many benefits to gifting stock:
- By giving stock, instead of cash, you conserve your cash.
- You can deduct the fair market value of the asset.
- You can avoid the capital gains tax which would be applicable if you sold the asset (the asset must have been held for at least a year and a day).
- You can reduce your taxable estate by the full market value of the stock.
