Donate To Our Annual Campaign

The Ann Storck Center raises approximately 50% of its therapy and therapeutic budget and 20% of its preschool budget through private donations, although that percentage varies greatly depending on government funding.  Through the support of many notable individuals and philanthropic organizations, the Center has been able to provide necessary services for its children and adults and, in increments, expand its services to many others in need in our community.  The Center does its part by keeping administrative costs less than 10%.  Unfortunately, there are many in need on our waiting lists.

There are many ways to give to the children and adults of the Ann Storck Center.  Private contributions, donations of time, talent and goods, bequests, and grants are all necessary to maintain our high standard of care.  Please review the options below and see how you can help our children and adults "discover their abilities and build independence."

Make a Contribution of Services
Many of our ventures would not have been possible without invaluable donations of service, materials or special equipment. If you have a special ability, share your talent for the benefit of our residents and program participants.

Volunteer
The Center is honored to be affiliated with local auxiliaries. In addition, many individuals volunteer to work with the residents and students at the Center.  Students and adults alike have ample opportunities to assist with special events in the DTP, preschool, or volunteer through the Arts in Motion program.   

Award a Grant
