You Can Help
There are many ways to support The Valerie Fund in our efforts to provide children and their families with the most comprehensive care.
Until the governor declares an end to the New Jersey COVID-19 State of Emergency, donors filing in New Jersey can claim a gross income tax deduction of up to $20,000 when filing jointly and $10,000 when filing individually for gifts until the state of emergency is over.
Consider giving on a regular recurring basis. It’s as easy as a click for you and the sustainable donation ensures that our kids get the care they need.

CHARITABLE GIFTS FROM YOUR IRA – Did you know that you can donate directly from your IRA? Qualifying gifts can be made without counting the transfers as income if you are over 70 ½.
