If you have not already taken part in “Giving Tuesday”, please consider supporting “Lifestyles” as part of your “End of Year” Holiday giving plan. In a new fundraising initiative, Lifestyles created the Recurring Monthly Grant Program. Receiving funds on a recurring monthly basis allows Lifestyles the opportunity to create a supplemental budget for respite, programming, renovations and special projects. This is the perfect time to direct your giving to Lifestyles.
In addition, Lifestyles has been awarded a Diamond Matching Grant through The Staten Island Foundation. This grant enables Lifestyles to double every donation they receive up to a total of $25,000 for individuals enrolling in our Recurring Monthly Grant Program. The total impact of this grant will be $75,000. The Staten Island Foundation will double the monthly recurring donation that you provide through June 2026. For example, your $50 monthly gift to Lifestyles would become a $150 gift. Of course, it is our hope that you would continue your gift throughout the year and years to come.
Whether your donation is $10.00, $25.00, $100.00 or $500 dollars, doubling your gift with a Diamond Matching Grant will generate a significant amount of funds that can be used to assist in the operation of our programs. Your recurring monthly grant agreement can always be changed to a different monetary amount or stopped altogether. Every gift is appreciated. If you prefer, a one-time “End of Year” donation is still an option and truly appreciated. If you need additional information regarding the program, please call Greg Mikalauskas, Director of Development at 347-695-7078.
Thank you for your consideration and all you do for Lifestyles. Together we can “Create a World of Opportunities” for all those that we serve. Your “End of Year” Donation can be a gift that can benefit “Lifestyles” throughout the year.
