Give Today
When you give, you’re not just supporting a program — you’re investing in families, stability, and generational change.
​
Every donation fuels programs that provide mentorship, relationship support, parenting tools, and reentry guidance for fathers working to create a better future.
​
Give today to support our mission of empowering fathers for stronger families.
Universal Charitable Deduction
Starting in 2026, the Universal Charitable Deduction gives everyday donors a new opportunity to receive a federal tax benefit for giving — even if they take the standard deduction.
Individuals may be able to deduct up to $1,000, and married couples filing jointly up to $2,000, in qualifying cash donations to eligible charities. Donate today and receive a tax receipt for your 2026 contribution. For questions about how this may apply to you, please consult your tax advisor.
Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund
Already have a donor-advised fund?
You can recommend a grant to Fathers and Families Center and help fathers build stability, strengthen their relationships and create brighter futures for their children.​​
​
A donor-advised fund, commonly called a DAF, is a charitable giving account managed by a community foundation, financial institution or other sponsoring organization. Donors can use funds they have already set aside for charitable giving to recommend grants to eligible nonprofit organizations.
If you have a Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF) fund, please select this link.

Give Through Your IRA
A charitable gift from your IRA can be a meaningful way to support fathers and families while fulfilling your charitable goals.
​
Eligible donors may be able to make a qualified charitable distribution directly from an individual retirement account to Fathers and Families Center. Because the gift is transferred directly from the IRA administrator to the organization, it may offer tax advantages depending on your individual circumstances.
