Individual Contribution Opportunities

Donate to Special Olympics Kentucky today!
 
  Special Olympics Kentucky has always been a grass roots program supported by people through individual contributions. Special Olympics Kentucky is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3 corporation, and is able to offer certain tax benefits to those who contribute. Kentucky offers several ways to support the work of the organization through traditional methods such as direct mail and telemarketing, as well as Special Events and individual giving programs. 
 
    People in Kentucky have opportunities to provide needed support in ways that are meaningful for them throughout the year. Special Olympics has always depended on individuals to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities. Listed below are examples of ways one can support our activities. Everyone who donates $50 or more becomes a member of Kentucky's Circle of Winners for that year. The Winners Circle is a formal way we can recognize someone for choosing to support the work we do. Membership in the Circle entitles one to receive regular information on our activities, Special Olympics gifts, and most of all, the knowledge that you are part of an increasing number of Kentuckians who believe that Special Olympics provides an important service for many Kentucky citizens. For more information on the Winners Circle, call the Chapter Office at 1-800-633-7403, or E-mail.
