DONATE MONEY

The Christmas Connection, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, relies on the generosity of the community and receives no state, federal or United Way funding. All donations are tax deductible.

Annual Giving is an integral part of the Christmas Connection. It helps provide the basic necessities to families in need in central Oklahoma.

Pledge an annual or monthly gift to help support the Christmas Connection’s vital programs by contacting Shelley Dutton, Executive Director, at (405) 634-2006. We can work with you to schedule an automatic withdrawal.

Due to the Christmas Connection’s expanded program offerings, a growing client base seeking access to its services and an offer by an educational institution to purchase its facility, the Board of Directors  initiated a comprehensive capital campaign in 2007 focused on buying a new facility.

The Christmas Connection moved to 5728 S. May Avenue in August of 2009.  The new facility has provided countless opportunities for growth in our programs and services.  Phase II of the Capital Campaign is underway with less than $250,000 remaining to pay off the building note of the original  $1.5 million goal.

The Christmas Connection values your financial support.  Pledges and donations to the Capital Campaign fund are still needed.  In addition to one-time contributions, pledges payable over a two-year period are also accepted.  For more information about the Christmas Connection’s Capital Campaign, please contact Campaign Chair, Tony LoPresto, at (405) 242-2466 or Executive Director, Shelley Dutton.

The annual North Pole fundraising event will take on a new look and location this year to celebrate our 30th Anniversary.  Mark your calendar now for Friday evening, September 30th, 2011 for the Celebration at beautiful Oak Tree Country Club.  Sponsorships are available.  Please contact Shelley Dutton, sdutton@christmasconnection.org for details.  Click here for sponsorship levels.

Combined Federal Campaign

Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of Central Oklahoma #43211. If you are a federal employee, please consider designating the Christmas Connection in your CFC annual contributions. President Kennedy initiated a formal national giving program for Federal workers in 1961. Since then, the CFC has evolved into the nation’s leading workplace giving program. No other annual employee-giving program raises as much money for charity.  Watch, too, for opportunities for State and Oklahoma City Employee Giving Campaigns available to designate to Christmas Connection in 2011.
