The Frostig Center is a non-profit organization that specializes
in working with children who have learning disabilities. Founded
in 1951 by Dr. Marianne Frostig, a pioneer in the field of
education, the Center is dedicated to continuing Dr. Frostig’s
work by:
-
Conducting groundbreaking research into the causes and
treatments of learning disabilities;
-
Offering training programs for parents, educators, and
other professionals working with children with learning
difficulties;
-
Providing direct services to children with learning disabilities
in the greater San Gabriel Valley and throughout Southern
California through the Frostig School, after school tutoring
programs, and summer workshops.
To continue our tradition of excellence in serving children
who struggle with learning, the Frostig Center needs your
help. Tuition fees and service contracts only support 85%
of the Center’s true operating costs -- the remaining
15% must be covered in other ways.
Here is a list of ways you can help:
Gifts of Time
Volunteer your time, talent, and skills! The Frostig Center
is looking for helping hands. We are always in need of volunteers
for staffing of our special events.
Gifts-in-Kind
The donation of much-needed services and resources such as
printing, general contracting, food for events, office supplies,
computers and printers, automobiles, materials for the art
and drama programs, and sports equipment is another way to
help the Frostig Center. Please contact the Development Department
before you make a donation to be sure your gift can be put
to good use.
Gifts of Cash
The easiest and most common way to support the Frostig Center
is to participate in the Annual Giving Campaign that begins
in the fall and ends in the spring. The Annual Giving Campaign
provides critical support to the school program, enabling
it to continue its excellent programs. Monies raised through
the Campaign support student enrichment activities, fund special
programs and augment teachers’ salaries.
Legacy Fund
Support of the Legacy Fund helps to build a special endowment that is used
exclusively for increasing teachers' salaries.
Tribute Gifts
Make a donation to the Frostig Center to remember a birthday,
anniversary, graduation, wedding or other special occasion.
When a tribute gift is made, we will send a special note to
the honorees to let them know that you have made a gift in
their honor.
Memorial Gifts
To honor the memory of a departed loved one, a gift can be
made to the Frostig Center. A special note will be sent to
the family to inform them of your remembrance.
Frostig Endownment Gifts
Gifts to the Frostig Endowment Fund will help ensure that
the Frostig mission is continued in perpetuity. The principle
of the Endowment Fund is invested and its earnings are used
to support the Center’s programs and services, so your
gift will have enduring significance.
Appreciated Assets
Gifts of stock, real estate and other assets will benefit
Frostig as well as provide tax savings to the donor.
Wills, Bequests and Planned Gifts
With proper planning, providing for heirs while minimizing
your exposure to income and estate taxes is possible through
a number of planned giving strategies like wills, charitable
remainder trusts, and annuities. Planned giving strategies
can help you build your legacy while helping Frostig continue
its mission today, tomorrow, and beyond.
For more information on the many ways you can help support
the Frostig Center please contact the Development Department
by phone at (626) 791-1255 or by
e-mail.
Thank you!
