Our Development Team provides cultivation of financial support from major gift donors for the programs and services offered by The Salvation Army in the Golden State Division. We can help you make plans for a gift that demonstrates your belief in our mission and reinforces your commitment to making a difference in the world. Many types of gifts allow you to fulfill your charitable intentions and may result in immediate and future benefits for you and your family.
To make a direct gift or for more information on local programs and services, contact your local Donor Relations Director. If you are interested in making a planned gift, please contact your local Director of Gift Planning.
