The Need:
- Payroll
- Gas
- Electricity
- Water/sewer/trash
- Various consumables
The total works out to about $20,000 each month.
Our tuition structure has never been about making sure all expenses are covered, it’s about making sure the children get the positive effects of the programs. All families are expected to pay what they are able, but we reduce tuition according to need, and give the families opportunities to further reduce their tuition by participating in fundraising events. But all of this means we still rely on the generosity of people like you!
We have a handful of monthly donors — those wonderful people who sustain us in this work. We call them Hilltop Children’s Champions. They are champions because their regular gifts enable us to plan for larger improvements to our building, secure that the monthly expenses are accounted for.
We have set a goal of 24 new $20/month donors before the end of 2024.
Can you become a new donor at $20/month?
Naturally we wouldn’t object to a monthly pledge of MORE than $20 — maybe $50, $100, or even $500 — but $20 is a good number to start with.
Payment Methods
There are a number of ways you can make this pledge. Some are through services that will take a small fee, others pass 100% of the amount on to Hilltop Children’s House.
Fee-free options
- Direct Bank Transfer: A scheduled monthly transfer can be set up from your bank through Zelle. Our Zelle account is connected to [email protected]. Contact Us for more details if you’re not sure how to set this up.
Options With a Small Fee
- PopMoney: They charge a small fee, but it is a direct bank transfer with no Paypal or other middle man. Go to PopMoney.com, set up your account, and then use [email protected] to set up your monthly donation.
- Square: Square is most convenient for many, and it takes a small fee — Hilltop Children’s House receives all but about 15¢ of every $20. Set up your recurring donation through Square, here!
- Continue to Give: Continue to Give also takes a small fee. You can set up your recurring donation through the main donation form here.
Whichever way you’re inclined to give is the best way we can think of. And we are always happy to answer questions. Contact us anytime!
