Give through a Donor Advised Fund.
DAFs are one of the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicles because of how easy and tax-advantageous they are. When you contribute to a DAF, you receive a federal income tax deduction for the amount of the gift. Then, while you decide which program to support, your gift can be invested and grow, making an even larger gift to City Care possible.If you already have a DAF and would like to make a gift now in order to provide City Care with the support we need to care for our friends and neighbors living unhoused, simply request a grant distribution through your DAF sponsor. Be sure to use City Care's Tax ID # 73-1497381. Then, indicate whether your gift is unrestricted and may be applied to wherever is needed most or designated to a specific program.

For over 30 years, City Care has walked alongside our neighbors experiencing homelessness, medical fragility, and housing instability in Oklahoma.
Today, the need remains urgent. Too many Oklahomans leave hospitals with nowhere safe to recover, and individuals and families across our state struggle to find affordable housing.
City Care is raising support through a $14 million capital campaign to address these critical needs by building a 40-bed Medical Respite Center and adding 27 new units of affordable housing.
Together, we can create places of healing, dignity, and stability for every neighbor…
