Creative Alternatives of New York

“CANY helped me communicate my feelings rather than keep them bottled inside. I thought I wasn’t strong enough, that I would give up. I learned ways to cope with the fact that I was victimized, to recover and continue with my life.”

Individuals like you are critical to the stability and growth of Creative Alternatives. We invite you to join our community of supporters.

There are many ways you can help, such as making a donation, introducing us to potential program sites, joining us for fundraising events and telling others about the work we do. Whatever your skills and resources, there are opportunities for you to make a difference today.

Donate online

Donate appreciated stocks

A gift of appreciated stock or mutual funds may provide more tax benefit than a cash donation.

Donate by mail

Make your check payable to:
Creative Alternatives of New York
225 West 99th Street
New York, NY 10025

Honor a loved one

Your gift can become a living memorial. We would be happy to discuss naming opportunities for our programs and services to honor your family member or friend.

Deferred Giving

A properly structure planned gift can guarantee a life income to the donor and spouse, produce substantial income, as well as provide estate tax benefits. Some examples of planned giving options are: simple bequest, charitable trusts, charitable gift annuity, and life Insurance policy beneficiary. Please contact us to discuss options for long term deferred giving.

Donate goods or services

Creative Alternatives is always in need of in-kind donations such as office supplies, printing services, PR and marketing resources, catering services for special events and more. If you or your employer can help with these, please contact us!

Tell a friend

Spreading the word about the important work of Creative Alternatives has a tremendous impact and is something everyone can do. Whether you mention us to others who might support our work financially, or you mention to a representative of a site that could be a good match for a Creative Alternatives program, telling others about us has a substantial impact.
