Donate

We have exciting news!  The Door has been awarded a challenge grant by the Calamus Foundation to support our work with runaway and homeless youth!

If we can raise $50,000 in new or increased donations, the Calamus Foundation will match it with a $50,000 grant. But it’s an all or nothing proposition so we need your help now to reach our goal.

How you can help

  • If you are a regular supporter of The Door, first we would like to say THANK YOU! Without your continued support, we would not have developed a reputation as one of New York City’s leading youth development agencies.

    If you are able to increase your donation level this year, every dollar you give over and above what you normally donate will be doubled. Sounds like a deal to us!  DONATE >>
  • If you are a new supporter, welcome!  You’re joining a group who understands the urgent needs of New York City’s at-risk youth, and the exceptional job The Door does in meeting them. No other organization provides the comprehensive range of services we do, all for free, completely confidentially and under one roof.

    As a new supporter, your donation – of any amount – will be doubled. What are you waiting for? Take the challenge!  DONATE >>

What this grant would mean for runaway and homeless youth at The Door

If we are able to raise $50,000 in new or increased donations, Calamus will match it with an additional $50,000. That’s $100,000 total, and it would mean a world of difference for our clients:

  • A hot shower at the end of the day from newly installed bathrooms, instead of a splash of warm water from the sink.
  • A new suit and new skills for a job interview, instead of the same jeans and sweatshirt from the day before.
  • A case worker who can provide the tools to carve a new identity – “college educated,” “employed,” “secure” – instead of a lifetime of being labeled “runaway and homeless.”
