If desired, a donor may designate how those funds are used. If you are making a donation in someone's honor, please include the name and address of that person and they will receive an acknowledgement note or view our memorials page for more information. If you would like to make a monetary donation to the Douglas-Hart Foundation you can use our online donation portal or mail a check to:
