Learn about our Special Events, including the return of the Annual Dinners sponsored by our Ho-Ho-Kus and Chatham schools!
Our schools and adults programs are supported by private contributions and grants to the ECLC Foundation, our fund-raising arm, which supplements all of our programs and entities. ECLC would not be the same institution without the generous contributions from our staff, parents and donors. We rely on donations to ensure our students and adult clients will continue to receive the highest level of education and services that will allow them to scale new challenges, push the boundaries and reach their fullest potential in life.
For more information, please contact Director of Development, Heather Alonge at (973-601-5117) or halonge@eclcofnj.org.

Give an item from our Wish List
ECLC maintains a wish list of items that would help our programs provide better services to students and adult clients. Please check the wish list page on a regular basis to see if there is an item you would care to support.
Recurring Gifts
Rather than making a single outright cash gift, you may prefer to spread out payments over a period of time that is convenient for you. Recurring gifts can be set up using our online donation form.
Matching Gifts
An easy way to double or even triple your gift to ECLC! Contact your human resources office to find out if your employer participates in this type of program. If you have retired from a company, you still may qualify for this benefit through your former employer.
Stock
If you would like to make a gift of stock, please contact us before the transfer is made. We can then provide you with the proper information to make a transfer directly into the ECLC Foundation account and ensure that you are appropriately given credit.
Planned Gifts
Planned Gifts can help secure the financial future of ECLC. The most common form of a planned gift is a bequest. If you decide to include the ECLC Foundation in your will, please notify us of your intentions, so we can be guided by your wishes in our future planning. Another common planned giving vehicle is to assign the ECLC Foundation as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
Contact your financial advisor and/or attorney for advice on how you can take advantage of these and other planned giving vehicles. You can also contact ECLC for additional suggestions and information.
Volunteer
Looking for a fulfilling volunteer opportunity? Look no further! From clerical assistance to monitoring the school’s lunchroom, helping out at one of our special events, or working directly with our clients at the PRIDE Centers, ECLC is seeking capable volunteers to help support our dedicated teachers and staff.
For more information, contact Heather Alonge, Director of Development, halonge@eclcofnj.org.
Please note, due to COVID-19 we are unable to welcome in-person volunteers at this time. We look forward to meeting you in the near future!
