to Donate

LifePath,
Inc. is a non-profit organization. This means that LifePath exists
solely for charitable reasons and not for financial gain.
Although
the majority of our funding comes from the state and counties, the
cost of our services continues to rise as government support dwindles
year after year. We rely on fundraising and philanthropic support
from both public and private sectors throughout the year in order
to continue to provide the highest quality programs and services
possible to our clients.
LifePath
hosts two major fundraising events annually — the golf outing
in August and the PICPA/LifePath Thanksgiving Benefit and Awards
Luncheon in November. These events are successful in bringing both
community awareness and funding to LifePath, but it is what we raise
the other 10 months of the year that is vital in providing for our
future.
Gifts
both monetary and otherwise made to LifePath are IRS/tax deductible
to the fullest extent allowed by law. You will be provided a receipt
of your contribution for this purpose. But a gift to LifePath is
more than just a tax deduction — it's the joy of knowing that
you are changing lives and supporting a worthwhile organization.
Bequests (see below) and other generous, thoughtful gifts make an important
and long-lasting difference in the lives of individuals with special
needs.
For
more information about making a donation to LifePath, please contact
Ann Marie Surovy, Public Relations and Development Coordinator at
484-893-5539 or amsurovy@lifepath.org.
Bequests and Estate Planning
Bequests are a wonderful way to provide for the longevity of LifePath. Often times, we do not learn of a donor’s intent to include LifePath in their estate plans until after their passing. It is important to our organization to maintain long-lasting and meaningful relationships with all of our donors. If you have included LifePath in your estate plans or are planning to, please take a moment to download the confidential bequest notification form and mailing to: LifePath, 3500 High Point Boulevard, Bethlehem, PA 18017, ATTN: Development Department. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities!
