Honor a Loved One With a Tribute Donation

Making donations on behalf of others or in memory of others is a meaningful way of recognizing commitment to an important cause.  You can make a tribute or memorial donation and have us send a tribute card (suggested minimum donation $25.00).  Upon receipt of your donation, we will send a Tribute card to notify the specified individual of your kindness.  If no card type is specified, our CCFA Purple card will be sent.

Please note if you would like us to send you free request envelopes for future tributes.

Your tribute gift can be mailed to our office or charged to a credit card
by calling (212) 679-1570 or email

Donate Your Car, Boat or R.V.

Before you sell your vehicle, consider donating it to CCFA.
Our vehicle donation program helps raise needed funds for research and community-based education programs. It's so much easier  than selling yourself.  Not to mention, the tax deduction you will receive.
