Donor Information

Our development office is responsible for raising funds to support the mission of Pathways. Through direct mail appeals, special events, grant proposals, and corporate support each year, our goal is to fill the gaps left in our budget after public financial support has been finalized. We are also happy to receive needed goods and services in addition to the valuable time of our many volunteers. At the end of the calendar year, we conduct our Annual Appeal, which supports our programs, our Social Services Emergency Fund to help families through difficult winter months, transportation needs that enable our children to attend Pathways, and general or unrestricted support. Unrestricted funds allow Pathways to use your gift where it is most needed.

Throughout the year, we will hold one or two special fundraising events. We welcome your participation as a committee member, an attendee, a sponsor, or by providing goods or services for the event. If you would like to be added to our invitation list, please send an email to dfoster@pw4c.org or call Diana at 978-281-2400, extension 320. Please contact Diana to schedule a tour of our wonderful new facility which are conducted throughout the year.

Please consider including Pathways for Children in your charitable giving this year. Pathways does not share its donor or mailing list with any other organization and all donation amounts are considered confidential. We do publish a donor report annually, in our winter newsletter. Please let us know if you wish your gift to remain anonymous.

We are happy to receive cash gifts by check or credit card. You may print our donation form and mail your donation to Pathways for Children, Development Office, 29 Emerson Avenue, Gloucester, MA 01930. For credit card gifts, please remember to provide the number of your Mastercard, VISA, or American Express, the expiration date, the security code, the amount of the gift, the person you are honoring if this is a honor (such as a birthday or holiday gift) or memorial donation, your address and phone number (in case we have a question about your donation), and your e-mail address. If you are making a gift of stock, or if you are thinking of including Pathways in your estate planning, please contact the Development Office at 978-281-2400 x150, or send an email to sstendahl@pw4c.org for further information.

Thank you for your support!
