Our union, framed by our international reach and impact, positions us to advocate with and for young people. We are a bridge from homelessness to hope, built on a diverse array of programs, our trauma-informed practice models of resilience and positive youth development, and our advocacy for public policies that emphasize justice, safety, and opportunity for children and youth.

I talked to one of your representatives on the street and was given the opportunity to donate through a tablet. Is this a secure way to make a donation?

Covenant House is always seeking new monthly donors to join our community. Our face-to-face fundraising partners accept donations on the spot through tablets. This is a convenient and secure mobile giving method that helps us receive your urgently needed contribution as soon as possible. These tablets accept both credit card and bank donations and help reduce administrative costs; our representatives never accept cash. Fundraisers can be identified by their bright yellow vest with the Covenant House logo. If you meet one of our representatives, please feel free to say hello and inquire about the device and our programs.

Can donors make gifts of stock or other non-cash gifts?

Yes, donors wishing to make stock, noncash gifts, or estate gifts should contact info@covenanthouse.org or call 1-800-388-3888 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.
