Make a Donation
Be part of Bethesda’s mission to support and empower people with diverse abilities and their families.
Giving people with diverse abilities a summer camp experience, walking alongside people when they need a hand so they can live independent lives, expanding people’s abilities with adaptive equipment, being there for people and their families through transitions and challenges, and making intentional communities where people of all abilities share life together. These are just a few of the life-changing impacts that are possible thanks to the generosity of donors like you.

Monthly Giving - For Donors Who Want To Make An Ongoing Impact.
Some of our services are only possible through donations. So for us, having a stable source of funding allows us to plan and budget more effectively, to provide services predictably and plan for long-term sustainability. By choosing to give on a monthly basis, you can help ensure that we have a consistent and reliable source of income.
Being a monthly donor can also be beneficial for you as a donor. Monthly giving is a convenient way to spread out your donation over the course of a year, making it easier to budget and manage your charitable giving. Plus, it’s a great way to ensure that you are consistently supporting a cause that you care about.
Your monthly donations can make a big impact with even small donations. Over time, your monthly donations can add up to a significant amount, allowing us to have a greater impact and make a real difference in the lives of those we support.
Planned Giving
Have you considered Planned Giving? Unlike one-time or monthly donations, planned giving is any major gift that is made as part of a donor’s financial or estate planning. Gifts may include equity, life insurance, real estate, personal property or cash, depending on a donor’s circumstances. We partner with Christian Stewardship Services, a planned giving organization, to offer supporters of Bethesda opportunities to consider Bethesda in their long-term financial and estate planning.
To find out more about our planned giving options and whether it is right for you, contact Greta Nicholson, Chief Financial Officer.
