MAKING A GIFT IS SIMPLE

These gifts thoughtfully express your love and respect for someone special who has touched your life. This is a wonderful way to say thank you for the care a loved one has received at Steere House.

The Steere House Employee Development Team (EDT) is a group of employees that organizes fundraising activities to support those programs or initiatives that help to improve the quality of residents' daily life. The Team is active in developing in-house fundraising efforts, such as bake sales, gift basket raffles and other efforts to raise money to support specific resident needs. The Team is also responsible for such community efforts as the Steere House Walk. Each year, the group also organizes the Gifts From The Heart Employee Annual Fund, when employees can designate paycheck contributions for specified Steere House projects.

We invite you to join our Circle of Friends, named to honor and recognize those who generously contribute to the Annual Fund. Annual Fund gifts help provide the best possible quality of life for all residents, because they provide funds to purchase equipment, initiate programs and meet unforeseen emergencies that cannot otherwise be accommodated with the annual budget. Annual Fund gifts and pledges are paid in full within the calendar year and enable Steere House to meet current operating needs. 

A contribution to the endowment is a permanent investment in the future of Steere House. With the security of a strong financial base, we will be in the best possible position to respond to the needs of Rhode Island's growing elderly population. Gifts may be made to the Steere House endowment in many ways.

Colonel Edward R. DiPersio, long time Steere House Board Member and Officer of Steere House, gave much of himself to the facility.  In his honor, The DiPersio Society was established.  Members of The DiPersio Society have named Steere House in their estate plan through a planned gift. These gifts include bequests, charitable trusts, annuities, or life insurance.  

Steere House offers many ways to support the programs and services which directly benefit our employees and those we serve. Be sure to use the special instruction box upon checkout to specify which fund you would like your gift to support.

Gifts of personal or business property are a great way to support Steere House. In-kind donations are extremely beneficial to our events and programs because they subsidize many of our costs, which allow more of the funds raised to directly benefit programs at Steere House. 

As a Steere House Corporate Sponsor, you can make a difference and help fulfill the promise.

Supporting Steere House events and programs are one way to impact the quality of life for Steere House residents. Families, employees and the greater community will recognize your efforts and your employees will feel good about helping such a worthwhile organization, and for working for a company that cares.
