Making a Gift

By giving to RSI, you are helping to ensure the future of an organization that makes a distinctive difference in the lives of people with developmental disabilities.

The act of giving is highly personal. Gifts can be made outright or deferred. They can be used immediately or invested to earn an annual income supporting a specific purpose. A current gift has an immediate impact on Residential Services Inc. by supporting ongoing operations or for a specific program or need. On the other hand, gifts that are invested in RSI's security fund (endowment) provide a permanent stream of income, helping to ensure that RSI will be able to provide quality services for years to come.

If you are considering a gift, whether outright or planned, current or endowed, we encourage you to discuss your ideas with us. Communication is the best guarantee that Residential Services, Inc. will be able to honor your wishes. Please let us know how we may be of service.

Other Ways to Give

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support RSI every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the same prices, selection, and experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to RSI.

Get started with these easy steps:

 

1.) Visit smile.amazon.com. It’s just like shopping on amazon.com.

2.) Sign in. Simply use your existing Amazon credentials. If you don’t have an account, you can create a new one.

3.) Start shopping! After you’ve chosen your charity, your shopping experience will be the same as it is on the Amazon website. And there’s no extra cost for you at checkout! Amazon will donate 0.5 percent of your purchase to RSI.
