"I wanted to share "My Story" from 27 years ago. I was 17 then, 44 now. I had just become sexually active, and wanted to do the right thing to keep from getting pregnant - get birth control. So I went to Planned Parenthood and received the counseling and birth control I needed at a price that a kid with a part-time job could afford... Thanks so much for helping me back then, it's my pleasure to be able to support your organization now." ~ Letter from a recent donor~ |
Ways to Support Planned Parenthood
Donate to PPCNJ
Financial or cash donations are one of the best ways to help individuals
who can't afford quality reproductive care.
Your contribution will have an immediate and significant impact upon the
well being of women and families in the communities that we serve.
For example, your donation could help:
• a woman receive an annual exam and pap smear
• provide a Sexual Decision Making class for students
• offer STI testing and counseling to a concerned couple, or
• provide birth control counseling services
Every gift makes a difference.
Cash Donations
We accept donations in the form of cash, checks and credit cards. No gift is
too small.
Matching Gift Program
Some companies will match your charitable gift or will donate money to the
charitable organization where you volunteer. Ask your employer for a
matching gift or volunteer form and return the form (with the employee
portion filled out and signed) to PPCNJ with your contribution. We will fill
out the organization section and mail it to your employer and will notify
you when we have received the matching gift.

saving, while generously sharing with others.
