Ways to Give

Support Family & Children’s Service of Ithaca by making a donation

Family & Children’s Service of Ithaca has been a cornerstone of support in Tompkins County for over a century, providing essential mental health care and services to children, adults, families, and seniors. While many of our programs are supported through grants and contracts, these funding sources often do not fully cover the true cost of care. Philanthropic support plays a critical role in bridging this gap, allowing us to meet growing community needs, expand access to services, and ensure that no one is turned away due to financial barriers.

Your gift helps sustain and strengthen this vital work in our community.
