Give Monthly

Become a Champion for Adults with Disabilities

Monthly giving is a simple, convenient way to make a lasting impact on the lives of the adults with disabilities we serve. Your ongoing support helps individuals access opportunities, build relationships, and live meaningful, connected lives.

On average, it costs $80 to provide one day of services for one client, while government reimbursements cover just $75. That leaves a $5 gap for every day of service provided.

A monthly gift of just $5 helps cover that gap for one client, ensuring they can continue receiving the life-changing support they rely on. By making an ongoing commitment to the individuals we serve, you become a true champion of inclusion, opportunity, and independence. That’s why we call our monthly giving program the Champions Club.

What Champions Are Saying

  • "I've been a long-time supporter of Merrick Inc., and I have had the privilege of serving on the Board of Trustees for the past few years. With life as busy as it is, I often found myself forgetting to make a monthly contribution, until the option to become a "monthly giver" became available. It was easy to set up the automatic payments, and I'll never again forget to contribute to the organization I am so proud to support." - Champion Crystal Saric-Fashant
  • "Have you ever had good intentions to give to a non profit but simply forgot? I have and that is why I love the monthly giving program at Merrick. It’s easy and I can adjust my level of giving whenever I wish. I am so grateful to Merrick for the amazing services they provide my daughter and others. I am honored to serve on Merrick’s board and know your contributions will make an impact. Don’t wait, sign up today!" - Champion Diane Kozlak
