Ways to Give

Oftentimes people want to know how they can help…what they can do to make a difference for the individuals we serve.  One of the easiest ways to make an immediate and direct impact is to support DEC financially.  You can maximize your gift today by sending a check to our administrative offices at:  DEC, 333 E. Airy St., Norristown, PA 19401, or by making a gift conveniently online right now by clicking on  Donate Now. This will ensure a secure transaction using your credit card.  Thank you for your support.

Gifts-In-Kind

An in-kind gift is a contribution of goods or services that can be used to benefit DEC’s mission, or can be readily converted to cash and may qualify as a charitable deduction for the person(s) making the gift.

Employer Matching Gift Programs

One way to double the impact of your gift to DEC is to participate in your company’s matching gift program.

Your employer may match a percentage of, or all of your charitable gift. Each company has different requirements and procedures; however, your human resources department should be able to answer most of your questions. We are also here to help.

For further information on matching gifts, you may contact our Controller, Brian Hague at 610-277-3122, or email him at bhague@decmc.org.

United Way Donor Choice

Some of DEC’s donors choose to make their contributions through the United Way payroll deduction program.  DEC is a participating donor choice agency in the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.  Our United Way donor option number is 00327 and our full corporate name is Developmental Enterprises Corporation.

Amazon Smile – this program is set to expire March of 2023

Who knew that you could make a donation just by shopping?  AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization.  Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages.   You use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same. On your first visit to AmazonSmile, you need to select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. AmazonSmile will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.  The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. Bookmark the link http://smile.amazon.com,  and please choose to support Developmental Enterprises Corporation!
