Ways to Give
Addiction is a chronic disease that can best be put into remission with the help of treatment facilities and trained professionals. It has been said that addiction is a disease which affects the entire family and treatment is the only way to break the cycle.
Caron Renaissance has helped thousands of addicts and their families receive the help they need to lead productive lives, while rebuilding a family structure of hope and unity. The success of the Caron Renaissance treatment program has been built on treating those who cannot thrive in other treatment environments. In order to continue to provide the highest quality of treatment to our patients, and to be able to meet the pressing needs of our society, today, by offering access to treatment, we need your help. By making a philanthropic gift to Caron Renaissance you will make an investment in the future of an individual, a family, a community.

You may donate depreciated securities by selling the stock yourself, realizing the loss for tax purposes, and then contributing the cash realized.
A contribution of mutual fund shares can provide the same tax advantages as a gift of stock.
Gifts of Life Insurance
You can contribute a life insurance policy to Caron Renaissance by naming us as the owner or the beneficiary, or both. If you continue to pay premiums on a policy that we own, you can deduct the premiums as an annual gift.
Gifts of Real Estate
