Camp Wa-Ri-Ki is on its way to some exciting improvements in the year ahead including a new playground with treehouse; an archery range (both top requests in our recent growth survey); and a vision to construct a major new dining hall and lodge (a couple of years out). We also have ongoing maintenance needs like a septic tank upgrade for the seventy year old system that will likely run into six figures. So we need your help on #GivingTuesday.
You can read our community impact PDF so you can see who we are helping, what our users want to see added to the Camp, and some ways we plan to accomplish it… wth your help.
Help Camp Wa-Ri-Ki by:
- Join our “Sustaining Member Club” (quarterly gifts you may schedule securely to be paid with a credit card) on our donation page. We are a 501(c)(3) organization which makes gifts eligible for tax deductions (consult a tax professional). Our EIN is 23-7293852. One time gifts welcome too, of course.
- Enable a Payroll Deduction Gift, matched by your employer: Charity Navigator advises that, “Many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees throughout the year. Often employers extend these matching programs to include gifts made through workplace giving campaigns. It is important for you to inquire about your employer’s matching criteria so that you can maximize the impact of your donation. For example, some employers double the impact of a donation by matching each dollar. ” Check with your HR Department and designate Camp Wa-Ri-Ki. For questions, contact our Director of Development, Barbara McCullough-Jones at email@example.com.
- Shop for Christmas items in our Online Camp store: We have some very nice embroidered and screen printed hats, shirts, sweatshirts… with a special holiday savings coupon: holiday-save
