The work of Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) benefits greatly from the financial support of numerous local individuals and organizations.  PACCC is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  All donations to the agency are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. 

Donations may be made either to support the work of the agency as a whole, or to benefit a particular PACCC child care center or program.

Tax-deductible gifts may be in the form of a check made payable to Palo Alto Community Child Care, or by using a Visa, MasterCard or Discover card.  Credit card donations can be made by telephoning the PACCC Development Department at (650) 493-2361 ext 27.  Alternatively, our address is:

    PACCC Development Department
    3990 Ventura Court
    Palo Alto, CA 94306-3464

All gifts are acknowledged in writing.  For further information, please contact Cory Ervin, Development Director, at (650) 493-2361 ext 23, or e-mail her at cervin@paccc.com.

PACCC also welcomes gifts of stock, a form of giving that offers significant advantages both to the donor and to the agency.  PACCC's non-profit status means that you will not have to pay capital gains tax on stock that has appreciated over the years.  You will receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift.  And, of course, your stock gift will benefit PACCC, or any PACCC center that you designate.  For further information, please contact: Lanie Wheeler, Chief Financial Officer, at (650) 493-2361 ext 13, or e-mail her at lwheeler@paccc.com .

Lanie Wheeler would also welcome the opportunity to discuss with you the additional tax advantages of making a planned gift.  Such thoughtful and far-sighted acts of generosity have the power to support the agency's work on behalf of young children and their families for many years to come.
