Your generosity through year-end giving helps even more children and families discover their worth in Christ. Your support creates safe, nurturing environments where individuals can heal, grow, and experience lasting transformation. Truly, your gift makes a difference.

As you consider your 2025 year-end donation, we encourage you to consult your tax preparer or visit the IRS website for the most up-to-date information.

Reminder: Before giving to CCHO, check with your employer—or your spouse’s—to see if they offer a matching gift program. A few minutes of paperwork with your HR department could double the impact of your generosity and bless even more lives through this ministry.

As a nonprofit organization in good standing, we follow IRS rules. To ensure your gift qualifies for the 2025 tax year, please keep the following tips in mind:

By Mail: Mailed checks must be postmarked on or before Wednesday, December 31, 2025, to count for this tax year.
In Person: If you're in the Wooster area, we’d love to see you! Gifts can be dropped off at our administrative office on Armstrong Road until noon on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
Online by Credit Card: Donate online by 11:59:59pm on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, to be eligible for the 2025 tax year. You’ll receive an immediate confirmation email to the email address provided that your gift was submitted. Give at ccho.org/give. To support our Building Hope Campaign in Stark County, visit buildinghopecampaign.org and click “Give Now.”
Securities & IRA Distributions: When you direct your broker to transfer securities to CCHO, it’s considered a completed donation only when the funds are transferred from your account into another account. If you’re over age 70½, you may also make a qualified charitable distribution directly from your IRA. We recommend contacting your broker or IRA trustee early to ensure your gift is processed before year-end.
