How To Help

Your gift could be matched dollar for dollar! Many companies offer matching gift programs that will double, even triple a donation's value. Check with your company for further details.

Legacy giving creates a legacy for you and your family and sustains the future of CFGC. With legacy giving, anyone can name CFGC the beneficiary of:

• Gifts of appreciated stock
• A charitable remainder trust
• Bequests in wills and trusts
• Annuities, IRAs, life insurance, qualified retirement plans, etc.
• Endowment plans
• Real estate

Yes, you read that right! You can help just by shopping! Here are a few ways that you can shop for the cause:

• Purchase a box (or more!) of Healing Hearts Art greeting cards. Each box contains 10 special designs created by precious children during their journey of healing. Each box is $20 and all sales benefit the emotional and behavioral needs of our clients. Cards can be purchased at the CFGC office located at 804 E. Pecan Grove Rd. in Sherman or at Bon Appetit Y'all located at 2120 FM 1417 in Sherman. 

• Shop on AmazonSmile. You can donate to CFGC just by shopping on AmazonSmile! Click here to get started!

Gifts in kind, also referred to as in-kind donations, is a kind of charitable giving in which, instead of giving money to buy needed goods and services, the goods and services themselves are given. Gifts in kind are distinguished from gifts of cash or stock.

Fundraisers are a great way to have fun, spread awareness and information about CFGC, and raise much needed funds to support direct mental healthcare services to Texoma children & families regardless of their financial limitations. Fundraisers can be as easy or as elaborate as you want! 

The easiest way to raise funds is through social giving. For example, you can hold a fundraiser on Facebook for your birthday or any occasion.

CFGC has some unique fundraising tools so if you are interested in holding a fundraiser on our behalf, please contact us! We would love to use these tools to help your fundraiser be even more successful! 

By definition, an advocate is "one who supports or promotes the interests of a cause or group." (source) There are several ways a person can advocate for our cause.

The best way to advocate for CFGC is to define your talents, strengths, or skills and then use them to spread awareness of our mission and our needs. It may be liking and sharing our posts on social media. It may be reaching out to local politicians to advocate for mental health issues and mental health workforce issues. It may be volunteering. Advocacy can be just about anything you want it to be so get creative! 

Above all, remember that we appreciate your support. YOU help healing happen here. 

There are several ways to help our neediest families during the holidays. Gift cards to help purchase food, gifts, and gas for these families during the holidays are always greatly appreciated.
