Make a Pledge
When you make a pledge it helps CCWA better project financial resources available for programs throughout the year. Pledges may be made by downloading the CCWA pledge form below and mailing it to our offices. 

Gifts of Securities
Gifts of securities often present significant tax benefits on the donor. With your gift you will be eligible to take a federal tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of your gift.

Please download the Pledge Form or the Securities Gift Form and mail it to our office. For more information contact Julie Kelly at 216-255-9001.

Matching Gifts
Many corporations have matching gift programs that help increase the amount and impact of your donation. If your employer offers this benefit, please attach a matching gift form with your contribution.

Planned Giving
