Major Gifts

Major gifts and legacy donations ($10,000 +) are a powerful means of propelling a Capital Campaign toward its goal. There are a variety of ways for individuals and families to make a major gift to this campaign, including:

  • Stocks: Our Executive Director will work with you/your broker directly to transfer and "gift" stocks. Contact our Executive Director for more information, Jan Peneston. Here is an article on 4 reasons to give stock (link here). 
  • Planned Giving: Leave a legacy at Camp Talooli by leaving a bequest in your will.  This will help to continue to provide a Happy Gathering Place, a program to grow future leaders, and a home for wildlife.

In-Kind Donations

Our Capital Campaign includes several major building projects, as well as upgrades to Camp Talooli's existing facilities. As with any such projects, we will require a great deal of materials and manpower to make them happen. In-kind donations are a way for people and businesses to make contributions of materials and equipment in order to accomplish our goals. If you are looking for a more specific list of materials/equipment that we will need, please contact our office.
