The Cardinal Hayes Development Office was started in 1989 when we began our Direct Mail Program in an effort to close the gap between receipts from government funding and the expenditures experienced by the agency in caring for our developmentally disabled residents.

This program opened a new door of opportunity for Cardinal Hayes Home. Within a relatively short time, we came to realize that many folks shared our compassion and concern for young people who are disabled. People from across the U.S., and even a few beyond our borders, supported our efforts, financially and through their prayers. Many blessings have come to us through old and new friends, and we have welcomed the opportunity to pray for the intentions of all who request our prayers.

We always appreciate new friends who want to join us in our mission. Our Development Office is small but efficient, and your gift will be promptly acknowledged. The Sisters in residence at Hayes are more than glad to pray for any special intentions you may have.

The easiest way to contribute to Cardinal Hayes Home is online using a credit card. Simply click on the Donate Now button at the beginning of this "To Make a Donation" section.

A donation that is designated for Cardinal Hayes Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of our agency and a gift to special needs children of the future.

Memorial Donations are a great comfort to families who have lost a loved one.  Donations can also be given to honor someone, or for a special occasion.  A lovely acknowledgement card is sent to the person being honored - or to the family when a gift is "in memory" of someone.  We also send a thank you card to the person making the donation. 

Bequests to Cardinal Hayes Home are a wonderful way to carry your compassion and generosity into future years. Unless otherwise directed,  bequests are placed in Cardinal Hayes Home Endowment Fund where they will benefit disabled young people in the years to come as well as those now in care.
