Donate
If you are looking for ways to support and invest in the work of Baxter Community Center and our Community – we have several options to help you do so.
To qualify for a 2025 donation, check envelopes must be postmarked by USPS on or before December 31, 2025. Online donations must be made by midnight on December 31 in your time zone (your credit card statement must be time-stamped with a 2025 date).
Baxter Community Center collects and uses personal information such as: name, address, phone number, and email address when a donor voluntarily provides it to us. In addition, Baxter keeps a secure record of each donor’s giving history. This information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used by the Development Department to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections.
Baxter Community Center does NOT sell, trade, or share its donor list with any other organization. If you have a change in your donor information, please contact us at (616) 456-8593 or email us at admin@baxterccommunitycenter.
