How Can I Help?
There are three
ways that you can help Any Baby Can through your giving:
General Donations
Automatic Donations
We are excited to announce that you can now set up an account to automatically deduct your Any Baby Can donations using your credit or debit card. This new feature allows you to determine the amount of the donation and how often you would like your account to be charged either weekly, monthly or annually. Once set up, you will no longer have to visit the website or spend money on postage to send in your much needed donations. In order to set up automated donations, we will need your name, address, credit card number, type, expiration date and how often you would like to make a donation. You will have a new account in a matter of minutes! Please call Tracie Fitting, Donor Relations Coordinator at 512-334-4432 to set up your account to make automatic donations! Thank you for making a difference in the life of a child!

Donation and Party Ideas
Do you want to give back to your community but do not know how to help? Do you like to throw parties? Would you like to be a role model for your children and/or friends and teach them about philanthropy? If so, there are great ways to have fun and help families and children in need. For your next birthday or holiday party please consider requesting diapers or toys on behalf of the children of Any Baby Can in lieu of gifts. So many people do not feel like they have the time to volunteer or the means to donate and you can make it easy and fun. You will be amazed at how your friends and family will feel about supporting a great cause and we promise, you will not miss those same old ties, socks and cologne you have piled up in your closet! We'd love to see your pictures and post on our website! We will be happy to provide you with literature about Any Baby Can for your guests at your party.
