Program Funding Opportunities
THE VALERIE FUND
Designated Giving Opportunities for All Centers
The Valerie Fund's mission is to make critical medical and related psychosocial care available and accessible to children and families close to where they live throughout New Jersey, in Philadelphia and in New York City. This has been accomplished over the past 30 years through the immense compassion and continued financial support of many.
The following are Designated Giving Opportunities for which funding is currently needed. High-impact gifts such as these can be linked to a named endowment to ensure funding in perpetuity; they can also be made on an annual or multi-year commitment that will guarantee the continuation of these programs and services. (Additional opportunities are available and will be presented upon request.)
