Most Cunningham kids have never known the simple pleasures of being a child.

You can change that.

Guardian Parents are special friends who commit to regular and ongoing financial contributions that help create lasting happy memories for children and youth. There are three ways you can sign up to become a Guardian Parent:

  • By Credit Card. Click here to authorize monthly, quarterly, or annual credit card donations. Be sure to specify that this is a recurring gift.

  • By Automatic Gift Payment. Click here to download a printable form that will authorize your bank to transfer monthly, quarterly, or annual donations electronically from your checking or savings account.

  • By Check. Send us a check today, and write "guardian parent gift" in the memo line. For future donations, we'll send you reminders with donation envelopes included. A printable donation form can be found here.

Guardian Parent Giving is...

  • Better for kids – providing needed support for special "extras" that aren't covered by other funding sources -- like field trips, summer camps, birthday parties, and enrichment activities.
  • Better for you – allowing you to develop a deeper connection to Cunningham kids while also providing benefits like the Guardian Parents Notes newsletter and being removed from our general mailing list.
  • Better for Cunningham Children's Home – reducing administrative costs and ensuring reliable and steady support for programs that help kids heal and grow.

What Guardian Parents Say

"I like feeling connected to the Cunningham mission in a simple yet very significant way."

"I am so thankful for the way Cunningham influenced my life as a troubled young person. By becoming a Guardian Parent, I can express my personal gratitude in a consistent and meaningful way."

"It's so important that these kids have a chance. I think Cunningham does a good job of reaching kids, and I'm glad to help make that possible. I don't have the knowledge or training to work directly with them myself, but I can be a part of their lives by supporting Cunningham's work."

"One of the most personally satisfying acts of Christian Outreach I do each month is to write my Guardian Parent check to Cunningham Children's Home."
