Support

It Takes a Whole Community...

Our goal at Leg Up Farm is to provide a place where people come together for the benefit of our special needs children and their families. The staff and Board of Directors at Leg Up Farm believe that it takes more than just therapists to create this environment . . . it’s the spirit of cooperation, dedication to quality, the collaborative effort of community organizations, and the support of business and government that make it possible. We invite and encourage all organizations, businesses, and individuals – both young and old alike, to be part of the Leg Up Farm team.

Any Support You Can Give is Greatly Appreciated...

At Leg Up Farm, no child will be denied services because of a family’s inability to pay. Our mission is carried out through the generous support of a vast network of donors and volunteers.

As a non-profit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, all donations to Leg Up Farm are tax-deductible. Receipts for documentation purposes will be provided. Our federal tax identification number is 23-2931834.

Ways to Give...

You can help us improve the lives of children with special needs and their families in our community in the following ways:

Cash Donations

  • Donate Online
  • Mail - Print out a donation form, fill in the required information, and mail it back to us. Checks made payable to Leg Up Farm can be sent to the following address:
    Leg Up Farm, Inc.
    PO Box 345
    York, PA 17405-0345
  • Phone - If you prefer to make your donation over the phone, or have any questions, we would be happy to help you at (717) 843-8341.

Matching Gifts

Many companies have a matching gift program that matches part or all of their employee’s charitable contributions. If your company participates, please forward the necessary forms to Leg Up Farm for processing. These forms can normally be obtained from your local HR or public affairs department.

United Way Contributions

You can direct all or a portion of your annual United Way giving to Leg Up Farm by simply writing in our name and address on your Pledge Card. Donor-designated contributions are assessed a nominal processing fee by the United Way.

Memorial Donations / Gifts in Celebration

A memorial donation is a wonderful way to honor the memory of a loved one. Gifts in celebration of special events, such as a birthday or an anniversary, are also very thoughtful expressions to recognize that special someone. Acknowledgement of any gifts received will be sent to all parties as directed by the donor.

Gifts of Securities or Other Assets

Appreciated securities, real estate, art pieces, jewelry, or other assets (including used cars and trucks) can be sold or invested for the long-term benefit of Leg Up Farm.

Planned Giving

Special tax incentives may be available for donors who make a planned gift. Some common types of planned gifts are bequests, charitable gift annuities, trusts, retirement assets, appreciated stocks, and life insurance. These gifts may offer a number of advantages, which include: income for life or a term of years to a donor and/or other beneficiary, such as a spouse or other family member; reduction of the donor's tax obligations as a result of a charitable income tax deduction; help to "unlock" income from highly appreciated, but low-yielding property, without incurring any capital gains tax; and save estate and gift taxes.

Gifts-in-Kind

You can also support Leg Up Farm by donating tax-deductible goods or services. To learn more about our special needs, please contact us.
