How You Can Give

Giving has never been so important–or easy! There are various ways to work with WCCF to start making a difference in Wayne County. Choose the path that’s right for you.

 

 

How to Give

Start Your Own Fund

You may start a fund with a minimum of $10,000 ($20,000 for a scholarship fund). If you do not have $10,000 to start with but are still interested in beginning a fund, you can open a $2,000 Acorn Fund. Contribute $2,000 each year for five years until you reach the minimum amount.
