Quality Trust welcomes the support of individuals and local businesses, which can take several forms.
Board Members. Quality Trust’s Board of Directors create and oversee the organization’s strategic plan, hire and evaluate the CEO, help fundraise to ensure the organization’s financial stability, oversee the programs offered, and approve and oversee the annual budget. New members are needed each year. Learn more.
Sponsorship Opportunities. Quality Trust seeks sponsors for our three annual events: our Better Together Reception held each March in celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, our Annual Gala held each summer, and our Annual Meeting held each fall. Sponsorship levels vary for each event, ranging from $500 to $5,000.
In-kind items. Quality Trust seeks silent auction items for our Annual Gala, including donated services, restaurant and hotel certificates, local experiences, sports tickets, artwork, jewelry, and more that help us raise much needed funds for our programs and services.
Fundraising campaigns. Consider seeking a company matching gifts for individual contributions or giving through United Way (9339) and Combined Federal Campaign designations (33317).
Emergency Funds. When an adult or a family has an emergency, Quality Trust supports people on a case-by-case basis. These crises can arise at the most challenging times for people, and Quality Trust wants to respond quickly! Emergency fund donations can help provide:
- Money to keep utilities going
- Equipment like glasses or adaptive equipment
- Emergency transportation to doctors or hospitals
Family Holiday Celebrations. Thanksgiving and Christmas are a time of need and tradition. Many families do not have the funds for holiday meals, toys, presents, or celebrations. Throughout the year and especially during the holidays, Quality Trust collects funds and non-perishable food to distribute to families. Some items we need:
- Store gift cards
- Fresh canned goods
- Money for prepared meals
- Volunteers to distribute meals
- Winter clothing, gloves, hats, and socks
- Lots of toys for kids – the very young and teens
