What You Get From A Special Olympics Contribution

You support a credible charity with proven results. In its first generation of service, Special Olympics has helped bring about major changes in the lives of individual athletes and dramatically altered how they and their families are regarded by society.

You support one of the most trusted charities anywhere. According to a recent Chronicle of Philanthrophy survey, Special Olympics ranks among the "most credible" charities in America.

You can watch your contribution make a difference. With many charitable gifts, you make a donation but don't know how the money is utilized. With Special Olympics, you can step onto the playing field or look out at your own communities and see the impact of your giving first-hand.

Your gift goes to athletes, not overhead. Because Special Olympics is largely a volunteer-driven organization, it operates with very low overhead. As a result, nearly all of your contribution goes directly to help the athletes.
