Ways to Give

Mainstay Life Services receives support in several ways, including federal, state and county government funding; grants from private, corporate and community foundations; and individual gifts. Because government funds cannot keep pace with inflation and are restricted in use, it is the private funding sources that mean so much to improving the quality of life for those we support and their families.

It is through your private gifts that we are able to provide supports that enhance and enrich each person’s life, such as special therapies, adaptive medical equipment, home accessibility improvements and more.

Thank you for considering making a difference in the lives of the people we support at Mainstay Life Services. You can support the agency in a variety of ways:
