Give a Gift:

Shepherd's Center of Webster/Kirkwood, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization. All contributions
are tax deductible.
Send your contribution to:

1320 W. Lockwood Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63122

Feel free to contact us at 314-395-0988 with any questions.

Send a tribute:

Giving a tribute gift is a thoughtful way of celebrating a special occasion, honoring someone special, or
remembering a loved one. The person or persons you designate will receive a card with notice of your
contribution, without indicating the amount of the contribution. In addition, you will receive a written
acknowledgement of your tax deductible gift.

Matching Gifts:

Many companies offer a matching gifts program. Does your company, or former employer, offer this
option? If so, you may be able to double the value of your gift to SCWK. Check with your employer to
request matching gift forms or information. This is really a great way to help the SCWK continue their
valuable programs.

Planned Giving:

Planned Giving is a term used to describe gifts legally arranged during a donor’s lifetime that in most
cases does not take effect until after the donor’s lifetime. It is a way for people from all walks of life to
provide for the future of our community and for the generations to follow. Donors are strongly
encouraged to talk with their attorneys and financial advisors before making a planned gift.

Annual Gift:

Our annual appeal is the “Giving Tree.” This special group of annual donors helps to sustain the
important programs and services offered at our Shepherd’s Center. To recognize their generosity,
donors’ names are inscribed on our Giving Tree plaque, unless otherwise requested. Gifts can be
given any time of the year. In 2008 we have received a matching gift from the Roland Quest Memorial
Fund, a component fund of the Greater St. Louis Community Foundation. They will generously match
the first $5000 we receive in Giving Tree gifts.
