Donate
Vida directly impacts the lives of the women, men, and children we serve in the Fox Valley and surrounding communities. All of our services are free of charge, which means we are completely dependent upon the generosity of donors to open our doors every morning.
Every contribution counts, from the single dollar bill that arrives in the mail to an estate gift. This life-affirming mission, work, and ministry is truly yours too, and we are grateful for your support! There are a variety of ways to donate, give, and support our mission. Please contact our Development Office at 920-731-4354 if you have any questions or would like assistance directing your donation and desire to support our mission. Vida is a 501(c)3 organization; donations to the organization are tax deductible.
Monetary donations may be made on a one-time or recurring (monthly or quarterly) basis in support of Vida. ACH payments are also accepted. Vida appreciates planned giving, recurring giving, and all corporate and individual gifts of time, talent, or treasure as well. Donors are recognized in the Vida annual report for their support.

Material Drives
You may organize collection drive on our behalf. At this time, and due to client needs, we encourage groups to do new material item drives (instead of diaper drives) and collect wipes, new clothes, small equipment items, etc.
Blanket Class
Cozy baby blankets are fun to make and a cherished gift to a new mom or dad. We would love for you to organize a blanket/ quilt making class and give the blankets to us! Please consider this fundraiser as a way to pass on love and warmth to moms and dads in need.
Baby Bottle Boomerang
This is a perfect fundraiser for a church. We give you bottles to distribute and bulletin inserts to explain how to fill the bottles with cash, coins, or checks. This fundraiser is typically used around Sanctity of Life Month in January, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and for Respect Life Month in October but can be done any time of the year. The church collects the bottles at the end of the drive, counts the proceeds, and delivers us a check. You can also bring us the filled bottles, and we’ll do the rest!
Christmas Banquet and Baby Baskets
Host a Christmas party and invite guests to bring a small gift for a baby. Gifts can be assembled into baskets for a special holiday surprise for new moms and dads.
