Other Ways You Can Help:

Fund a Scholarship:

It costs us $1,600 to provide a full year of safety and support to one child. The majority of youth that we serve are low-income and underserved by other programs and services. Our services are offered free of charge. This is made possible by gifts and grants. A contribution of any amount helps bridge the gap between the experiences most kids expect and what California PAL kids can only hope for without you.

Matching Gifts:

Many companies will match the contributions that you make to an organization. If you make a donation, please let us know if your company has a matching gifts program. If you are not sure, contact your company and/or organization's Human Resources or Community Affairs office.

Host a House Party:

Surprisingly, many people in the community are not familiar with the programs that California PAL offers today. A fun way for people to help us raise awareness is to host a house party at their home and invite friends to learn about how California PAL is helping the youth...

Leave a Bequest:

All of us have the power to make a difference. One way is to include the California Police Activities League in your will and/or estate plans. Those including California PAL in their will / estate plan will become members of our organization's "Impossible Dream" club. You can leave a legacy to California PAL in a variety of ways, including the following:

  • Bequest
  • Charitable Remainder Trust
  • Charitable Lead Trust
  • Life Insurance
  • Retirement Plan Assets
