How to Give

As a not-for-profit social service agency, Parenthesis Parent Child Center is dependent on your assistance. Every contribution you make to us is an opportunity to make a difference in the life of area families. If you have not already done so, please consider helping out! We accept donations of stocks and bequests as well. Many employers match charitable contributions made by employees. Check with your human resources department to see if your company will match or double the impact of your gift.

Your annual gift makes a difference to every family supported by Parenthesis:

  • $500 allows a teen parent to participate in 8 educational workshops

  • $250 provides 4 hours of crisis counseling to a struggling family

  • $100 gives 10 hours of developmentally appropriate childcare to a toddler

  • $ 75 allows a teen mother to speak to 100 high school students about her life

  • $ 50 enables 2 single parents to attend a workshop on effective discipline styles

To make a difference in the lives of parents and children living in Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Chicago's near west suburbs and the city's far west side please print and complete our Donation Form. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this file, download it here for free.


Legacy Gifts

Individuals can also support Parenthesis with a gift through their will or estate plan. More information about legacy gifts is available at www.leave-a-legacyoprf.org.

If you have questions about making a donation please contact Bonnie Andorka.
