Your generosity enables us to provide essential services, support community wellness, support education, impact housing development, and create opportunities for positive change.

Consider making a charitable gift before the end of the year. Your year-end donation can provide crucial funding for our projects as we enter a new year with renewed focus and goals.
Leave a lasting impact by including SENT in your estate planning. Legacy gifts ensure your support for SENT continues for generations, helping to build a resilient community for years to come.
Recommend a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) to SENT. We are registered with the two largest DAFs in the country, Fidelity and Schwab. You can easily donate through DAF Direct.
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or an IRA rollover is a tax-savvy way to give. You can avoid capital gains tax and potentially receive a charitable deduction for the market value of the asset.
Host your own fundraiser to support SENT! Whether it’s a bake sale, a virtual event, or a social media challenge, your creativity and initiative can help us reach more people and raise essential funds.
Many companies offer matching gift programs that double or even triple your donation to SENT. Check with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program.
