Help light the way to a future of hope and healing by donating to Safe Harbor’s Capital Campaign. A new facility is necessary for Safe Harbor to provide help to more children in our communities. Taking Safe Harbor from 2,400 sq. ft to 6,000 sq. ft allows us to help serve more children through:
- Multiple counseling rooms
- CASA Training Room
- Medical Suite
- Dedicated prevention and community education
- Play/Art Therapy rooms
- Two youth friendly interview rooms
- Multi-disciplinary team rooms to observe interviews
- Individual offices
To continue to provide hope and healing to more child victims, we need your help. To date, we have raised $688,000 – 37% of our goal of $1,800,000. Please join our mission to provide a lifeline to victims of abuse and neglect by creating a happier, healthier community.

2021 CARES ACT Tax Deduction
The CARES Act has instituted a provision allowing people to deduct $300 for charitable contributions. If you are married and filing jointly, your deduction is $600. Taxpayers can take this universal deduction if they take the standard deduction on their taxes. Deductions under the CARES Act must be in cash (including checks and credit card payments) and given to a 501(c)(3) organization. The CARES Act has also increased the amounts of annual charitable deductions for corporations from 10% of taxable income to 25%.
