Lighting the Way for Delaware’s Children

  • ⛵️

    CBH gives kids the confidence, support, and resources to navigate the tumultuous waters of childhood and adolescence.

  • ⚓️

    Beacon Society members are an anchor of sustained and reliable support, allowing CBH to be agile and responsive to emergent needs.

  • 🛟

    Beacon Society members form a ring of life-changing support around children with disabilities from families lacking resources to help them.

 What to Know when You Give

  • While Beacon Society members’ annual pledges are not earmarked for specific projects, 85 cents of every dollar goes directly to the life-changing programs that serve our children and families.

  • Your payment schedule is entirely up to you. When you signal your commitment by joining Beacon Society, it helps CBH plan its fiscal year. Note: If you make a one-time payment for the year, you will receive a reminder to renew in the next year. Recurring payments will continue from year to year.

  • When you join Beacon Society, you’re joining a community of like-minded people who are committed to empowering youth with special challenges. Depending on your level of membership, you can expect to connect through VIP events, dedicated updates, and access to CBH staff who are ready to help you engage in the way that feels right to you.

  • Absolutely! Gifting a membership is a great way to introduce CBH to a friend or family member, or perhaps a young adult looking to establish a social circle of civic-minded peers. When you give the gift of Beacon, you’re sharing your values with both your recipient and our children.
