Whether you're an individual or a company representative, interested in volunteering some time or prepared to make a financial contribution, there are many ways to make a difference at The Door.
The links in this section will help you decide how to make the most effective contribution to our program. We need tutors, sponsors, mentors, organizers, and, most importantly, the funds to continue our important work.
Contributions from private donors provide the invaluable support needed to expand our existing programs and design new programs to address the changing needs of our constituents. Gifts from individual donors and foundations allow us to continue our long and vital tradition of innovation, piloting new programs which go on to become models for other agencies and which influence public policy debates at the local and national levels. Contributions to The Door are tax-deductible, and can be designated for general support or for specific projects or activities.
