Sarah Bonwell Hudgins Foundation

FAQs

  • How can people help? What is your greatest need?

    Monetary donations provide the greatest help.  The Sarah Bonwell Hudgins Foundation is a public Foundation, but we are privately funded. This means we receive no money from the state or federal government with the exception of a few grants. Donations keep the Foundation going. Checks can be mailed or credit cards are accepted on our website. We also accept and can help with charitable trusts.

  • What other ways can people help?

    We accept in-kind donations of goods and services.
    Our annual Bunco Tournament fundraiser, for example, relies on many in-kind donations. Hi-Ho Silver donates all the Bunco prizes, while other local businesses provide items for our raffles.
