Individual Giving

Family Service Agency of San Mateo County’s mission is to help children, families and older adults in our community to build positive and productive lives, and to insure a financially stable future so we can continue to help generations of people to come. It is the steadfast generosity of people like you that allows us to make an impact in these individual’s lives, and we are forever grateful.

Here are some other ways you can help support Family Service:

• Individual Giving (Donate Now)
• Planned Giving
• Endowment
• Tribute Gifts
• Special Events

Planned Giving

A planned gift is a smart way to provide financial support that Family Service needs to help build positive and productive lives, while you are able to maximize tax benefits. If you would like to consider a planned gift, please discuss this with a financial planner who can best assist you with estate planning.

For more information about Planned Giving, please contact our Development Department at 650.403.4300 ext 4403 or hthorsen@fssm.org

Endowment

Family Service’s endowment fund will sustain future services for children, families and seniors in our community. This fund provides our organization with financial stability. During times of economic uncertainty, the endowment fund can provide needed funding to keep our programs going. A gift to the endowment fund gives Family Service a savings that creates interest and continues to help the organization long after it is made. It is a wonderful option in leaving a lasting legacy to Family Service.

For more information about giving to the Endowment, please contact our Development Department at 650.403.4300 ext 4403 or hthorsen@fssm.org

Tribute Gifts

What a thoughtful way to acknowledge or remember your loved ones. Honor and Memorial Tribute Gifts made to Family Service let someone you know (and most likely someone you do not know) that you care. While honoring or remembering a loved one, your gift is providing needed services to help build positive and productive lives. And unless otherwise specified, all Honor and Memorial Gifts go to the Endowment Fund, making your gift lasting a lot longer than any bouquet of flowers.

For more information about Tribute Gifts, please contact our Development Department at 650.403.4300 ext 4403 or hthorsen@fssm.org

Special Events

Sponsoring or giving to one of Family Service’s special events is a perfect way to support the people we serve. Family Service has a number of events that take place every year. Please see our Events menu to get an idea of these.
