In-Kind

BTC welcomes and appreciates in-kind donations that support our fundraising efforts and community impact. These contributions may include gift cards, products, services, or items that can be used for raffle baskets, auction offerings, or event supplies. In-kind donations help lower our event costs and increase the funds we are able to direct to ForKids and the families they serve. To make outreach easy, BTC members can use the sample letters below when contacting local businesses, community partners, or organizations.

  gift card initiative 

Fill out this letter and bring it to local stores, small businesses, or organizations in your community. Ask to speak with the manager or owner, share a bit about what Be The Change is, and explain how we support local organizations making a difference in our community. Kindly ask if they would consider donating gift cards, raffle items, auction items, or other items that can’t be otherwise donated. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to thank them for their time and support!
