Head Start is a federally funded program that is not-for-profit, which means donations are tax deductible. 

Gifts-In-Kind are non-financial donations such as books, school supplies, equipment, or services. This means you or your company can contribute a product that is needed rather than donate the money to purchase it. 

You can also contribute your time or services as a gift-in-kind to help the children and families of our program.

Cash gifts include personal checks, currency, money orders, and electronic funds transfer. All cash gifts are tax deductible as provided by law.

Volunteer opportunities are available for everyone.  You can volunteer on a regular basis or for a one-time helping experience.  Opportunities can also be designed to meet your schedule and needs.  Examples of volunteering with Head Start include:

• Helping in classrooms
• Guest readers for book distributions
• Office Work
• Field Trips
• Classroom projects
• Serving on one of several Committees
• Presentations in classrooms
• Food experiences in classrooms
• Providing meals for Parent Committee Meetings
• Cleaning toys in classrooms or the Parent room
• Preparing materials for classroom teachers
• Providing childcare on-site during meetings

Each year, our program must match a portion of the federal grant that we operate from, as a part of the rules of the grant.  This match may be made through gifts-in-kind and donations of time and services.  Your generosity makes it possible for us to continue to offer free, quality pre-school services to low-income children and their families for the next year-  "Paying It Forward" for the next group of 3-year-old and 4-year-old children who would not have this opportunity without the generosity of people like YOU.  You can make a difference in the life of a child through your donation to Pocatello/Chubbuck Head Start.
