Giving Opportunities

Early Connections Learning Centers was founded by fourteen generous and visionary women who saw the need for child care for working families, particularly working mothers.   Through the decades, our donors have been the backbone of our organization.  Our loyal supporters believe in our mission and recognize that our efforts on behalf of the youngest members of our society will pay long-term dividends for children, families and the community as a whole.

The gifts we receive go directly to support the high quality, comprehensive and affordable services we provide for children and families.  We offer six different giving oppportunities:

1. Share A Future Annual Giving Campaign
A  portion of the income we receive from individual donations is generated through this campaign.  Donors have the opportunity to honor or remember friends and family members through their contributions.  A number of employers will match donations made to charities by their employees.  Please check with your employer as this is a wonderful opportunity to double or triple your contribution.

2. Legacy & Vision Women’s Giving Circle
Women are actively engaged in philanthropic giving.  Our Legacy & Vision members are committed to our children’s future and contribute $1,000 or more annually.  L&V members have several opportunities to share in special activities throughout the year.

3. In-Kind Donations
Gifts in-kind from individuals and businesses are always welcome and help extend our resources. 

4. Corporate Sponsorships and Donations
We offer sponsorship opportunities to area businesses and companies in support of our Gingerbread & Jazz Gala and for events we hold during the year.  We also welcome individual donations from companies.

5. Pikes Peak United Way
We have been a United Way Member Agency since 1922.  Many companies participate in the annual community campaign, and we receive numerous  contributions through employee designations.

6. Planned Giving
There are many ways to remember Early Connections Learning Centers through planned giving options.  We are honored and grateful to receive gifts through bequests and trusts.  If you would like to learn more about planned giving opportunities, we will be happy to work with you.
