What does a sponsorship look like?
Sponsors make a commitment to provide an individual/family with at least:
- One clothing item per child.
- One toy item per child.
- One parent gift.
- One grocery gift certificate.
Gifts should be wrapped and labeled for their specific recipient. Sponsors are provided information about their matches, such as the ages of any children, clothing sizes and gift suggestions. Social workers will pick up gifts from sponsors and will deliver to families per Ramsey County policy to protect confidentiality.
A budget of $30 to $50 per person is recommended, plus an additional $15 per person for food for a holiday meal. For a family of four, a sponsorship would total about $180-$260. The cost of your sponsorship is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Donation receipts for tax purposes are provided upon request. Tax forms will be sent out no later Jan. 15, 2024 for receipts turned in by Dec. 31, 2023.
