Gillis, like most not-for-profits, relies on the generosity of donors to help us achieve our goals. Donations are an opportunity for you, your family, organization, group, and church members to make a difference. Private donations are vital to the services Gillis offers to children and families in Kansas City. Gillis is a 501(c)3 organization, and donations may be tax deductible. Monetary Donations Your monetary donation is always needed and will be put to excellent use. You may designate your gift to support a particular program or activity, or allow Gillis to use the donation in the capacity that it is most needed. Cash, checks and donations of stock are popular ways to support Gillis. Honorariums and Memorial donations are a good way to remember a loved one.
