Corporate Financial Support
The Children’s Health Initiative of San Luis Obispo County, which raises all Healthy Kids premiums, is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity. All contributions are tax deductible. Out staff will provide a letter of recognition with our tax ID number upon receipt of funds. Please contact Kena Burke, executive director at kena@slohealthykids.org or (805) 540.5177 for more information.

Employer Matching
Many employers will match funds contributed to charity, so that every dollar you give counts as two. Your company may already be a sponsor of Healthy Kids. If you or your company is interested in a corporate match program, please contact CHISLO executive director, Kena Burke at kena@slohealthykids.org or (805) 540.5177

Gift Tributes
Gift tributes are a rewarding way to celebrate friend, family, and associate birthdays, retirements, and other special events. Tell us who you’re honoring, and we’ll send the person an acknowledgement of your gift tribute.

Monthly Premium Assistance
For CHISLO to provide Healthy Kids coverage, the cost is $125 per child per month, or $1500 per child per year. Donors can help by sponsoring any part of this premium cost.

  • Contribute $125 each month for a year.
  • Sponsor a child for one month with an $125 donation.
  • Sponsor a child for a year with a donation of $1500.
  • Donate what you can on a monthly or one-time basis to offset part of the premium cost.

Outreach and Education
Do you want to learn more? Do you belong to an organization that wants to get involved? Our program began as community collaboration in San Luis Obispo County and we continue to rely on community support. Our outreach staff will come to your facility and speak to your members about our unique program to insure all the county's children. We need your help to spread the word. To schedule speakers please contact our Healthy Kids Coordinator, Margaret Androwski at (805) 540.5177, or our Outreach Coordinator, Isabel Ruiz at (805) 473.7033.

Planned Giving

We want your donation to fit into your long-term goals and dreams. We look forward to working with you and your financial specialist to design a planned giving strategy that meets your needs and supports our worthy cause.
