Support Perkins
Help more kids with disabilities find their place in the world
I would like to:
Monthly giving
When you become a member of the Advocates Circle at any amount that’s meaningful to you, you’re joining a community of monthly supporters dedicated to building a world where everyone belongs.
Leadership giving
The Annual Leadership Giving Program consists of two circles, the Leadership Circle and the Changemaker Circle. By joining, you lead the way in ensuring that every child can learn.
Planned giving
Since 1829, hundreds of thousands of children and young adults have benefited from the generosity of our donors who have included Perkins in their estate plans. When you join the 1829 Circle, you’re leaving a legacy that lasts beyond a single lifetime.
Other ways to help online

Create your own fundraising page
Support Perkins through our community fundraising program. We’ll set you up with your own web page and the support you need to reach your goals.
Engage on social media
Share our social media content with your networks (and encourage others to do the same!). Every like, comment, save, and share supports our work.
Additional ways to give
Many companies match their employees’ donations through a Matching Gift Program, which means every dollar you donate to Perkins could double. Contact your human resources or benefits office for more information. If there is a form for Perkins to complete, mail it to
