Support our Mission

Thank you! We are grateful that you are committed to supporting access to high quality early education. Together we will make a huge impact in the lives of teachers, families, and children.

Your tax-deductible support is critical to making our work possible.


Recurring gifts

A recurring gift each month is immensely helpful to us, providing a steady stream of support for the work we do.

Material donations

If you have materials, cars, boats, land, houses, warehouses, storefronts or other things of value that you no longer need, we’d love to put them to work.

IRA Charitable Rollover

For individuals age 70 ½ or older, the IRA Charitable Rollover is a tax-wise and easy way to support Gretchen’s House Foundation. You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $100,000 or less are eligible for this benefit. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution.

Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making. Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD). You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions. Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.
