The following pages will offer ideas as to how you can be a part, truly a partner, in shaping and developing the future through your gifts and support of Open Door Mission. Helping others can lead to unequaled personal and emotional fulfillment.

There are as many different ways to support Open Door Mission as there are needs for your support. Planning a gift is more than just finding a need. There are a lot of factors to consider. If you are not familiar with the concepts and strategies of charitable gift planning, you might want to take a moment to consider some of the factors in planning for the future. And check out our chart briefly describing some of the charitable means that are available to you - see How Can I...?

The stories that follow share some of the different ways people can become partners with us in changing lives. Take a moment to see how they - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found ways to support the needs of others and causes that are important to them - the way Open Door Mission is important to you. In turn, they have enriched their own hearts as well. Just click on the links below.
