Event Sponsorships

To promote and expand our vital system of programs and services, we host an annual fundraiser featuring well-known personalities and guest performances. We also offer our Educational Luncheon Series to inform and engage our community on critical social issues. For sponsorship opportunities, please see our Upcoming Events.

Moving Forward Campaign

Help us in our commitment to raise $250,000 to launch our new collaborative center. Having outgrown our three scattered and overcrowded service sites, we have a new home! Many giving opportunities to support our expanded services include Naming Opportunities, items from our New Office Gift List, and in kind gifts of office equipment, furnishings and equipment. Learn more on Donation Page.

Memorial and Honorary Gifts

Your donation can be used to make a meaningful gift in memory of a family member or friend, or in honor of someone special, perhaps commemorating a birthday or other significant life event.

Planning Giving

You can make a meaningful legacy gift by remembering New Beginnings in your estate plans, with a simple bequest, an IRA or insurance beneficiary designation, or a provision in a charitable remainder trust funded with appreciated property. Please visit our Planned Giving page for more information.

In-Kind Donations

While we have limited storage, we will consider accepting gently used furniture donations, high-quality dishware, clothes, or household items that would be useful to our clients we have recently housed. If you are a business owner or car mechanic interested in donating or offering your services to our clients, please contact our Development Department 805-963-7777 x122 or at development@nullsbnbcc.org. If you have furniture you would like to donate, please email a picture of the item to development@nullsbnbcc.org.

Amazon Wish List

New Beginnings typically houses between 3 and 5 individuals and families per month. To help us pay for move-in costs, such as cleaning supplies and other items, we have set up an Amazon Wish List. You can easily purchase items that are directly delivered to our agency. If you would like a donation acknowledgement letter, please contact our Development Department 805-963-7777 x122 or at development@nullsbnbcc.org
