About Legacy Giving 2025

Today, we invite you to be part of something truly life-changing. We are launching the David’s Refuge Legacy Campaign, a bold $10 million initiative dedicated to expanding our reach, strengthening our impact, and ensuring that parents of children with special needs and life-threatening illnesses always know they are not alone, that what they do matters, and that they are loved.


What is the David’s Refuge Legacy Campaign?
This campaign is about empowering caregivers—giving them the respite, resources, and
relationships they need to thrive. Through this initiative, we will:


✅ Expand our retreat and respite programs to serve more families.
✅ Develop new community partnerships that provide year-round support.
✅ Invest in sustainable funding to ensure our mission continues for generations.


Why $10 Million?
The demand for our services has never been greater. Every day, parents who tirelessly care for their children are facing burnout, isolation, and exhaustion. David’s Refuge exists to remind them they are seen, valued, and supported. This $10 million campaign will allow us to increase our capacity, enhance our programming, and ensure financial sustainability so that no caregiver feels alone. But we can’t do it without you.


Be a Champion for Caregivers!
Your support makes a direct and lasting impact on families who need it most. Whether you contribute to our greatest needs or support a specific program, every gift is an investment in love, hope, and resilience.


On behalf of the families we serve, thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building a legacy of love!


With gratitude,
Kate Houck
Executive Director, David’s Refuge

Why Legacy Giving?

All of us want to be remembered as good stewards of our resources. Shape the future through your choices today and become part of a legacy that will sustain long after we’re gone.

Gifts made as part of your will or estate give you an opportunity to invest in David’s Refuge in a more substantial way than may be possible during your lifetime.

Your legacy gift is a statement of purpose. It marks what has been most meaningful to you in this life by benefiting a future you will not see. As a legacy donor, your lasting commitment to empower caregivers to lead their families with strength and grace will shape our community for years to come. Thank you.

How your Support Makes a Difference

Parenting can be a difficult journey under any circumstances, but it's especially challenging for those who provide full-time care to children with special needs. David's Refuge brings respite, resources and support to these caregivers reminding them that they are not alone, and what they do matters. Wellness, Community and Respite programs empower caregivers to lead their families with strength.
Your support will allow us to continue our mission to help prevent caregiver burnout. Please consider making a gift today. Your support will change the lives of caregivers in our community, leading to healthier, stronger families.


Thank you for your support!
