Donate to SHARE

For 47 years, SHARE has served tens of thousands of individuals through the generous support of the communities we serve: donations from individuals, businesses, churches, foundations, and civic organizations make up almost all of the $1M we need to raise annually to continue our mission. With the exception of a few thousand dollars from the four towns we serve, SHARE receives no government funding.

We are responsible stewards of your gifts

We know that the generosity of our benefactors makes all the difference in our success. SHARE adheres to the intent of each donor’s gift and practices financial transparency and accountability to our donors. We strive to practice the highest ethical standards in stewarding those donations so generously given. Therefore, we practice truthfulness and integrity in financial communications. All representations of fact, descriptions of financial condition, or narratives about organizational needs, to the best of our knowledge, are current, complete, and accurate. 94% of all donations go directly to supporting our mission, with only 10% to administration and fundraising.
