Make your year-end gift today!
You can create a healthier North Carolina.
Looking for a meaningful and lasting way to give back? Give the gift of health education. There’s never been a more important time to give to health education.
Educated kids are healthy kids. After a program with one of our expert health educators, Sarah learned that, “Calcium is good for bones and teeth,” Jayden was physically active for 60 minutes daily, Madison embraced the changes of puberty with confidence and fearlessness, and a 6 year old asked their mom, “Can we have grapes for dessert?” 87% of children who participate in Poe’s health education programs report improved healthy behaviors.
You can empower kids just like Sarah, Jayden, and Madison across North Carolina to take charge of their health. Your generous year-end donation will fund programs that teach skills to prevent bullying and substance use, improve nutrition and physical activity, avoid illnesses and injuries, and develop positive relationships — creating a healthier North Carolina.

Make it Monthly, Make a Difference:
Recurring gifts make a difference! Please consider giving monthly and help sustain year-round health education programming. Twelve monthly gifts of just $25 will enable an entire class of students to take a field trip to the Poe Center.
Double the Donation, Double the Impact:
Ask your employer about corporate matching. Many employers generously match employees’ charitable contributions.
Tax Deductible:
Donations are 100% tax deductible. The CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) ACT expanded incentives for charitable giving. Individual taxpayers can now claim an “above-the-line” deduction of up to $300 for cash donations made to charity during 2020. Other provisions include higher charitable contribution limits for corporations and individuals who itemize their deductions.
