Support from the community is a critical driving force behind our success. A donation to the Bucks County Opportunity Council is an investment that transforms lives and creates economic opportunity for families in need. Our nationally recognized Economic Self-Sufficiency Program offers hard-working, motivated families a hand up, not a handout. We ultimately save $4 in cash welfare subsidies for every $1 invested in a successful graduate.
"I was homeless, unemployed, and relied on welfare to provide for my two young children - but I vowed to create a better life. The Economic Self-Sufficiency Program provided me with the opportunity I needed to permanently leave poverty. The program empowered me with the education, resources and skills to go beyond my dreams. I'm now an elementary school teacher living in a beautiful house in a great neighborhood. I am thrilled my children have been able to see me grow as a person and as a provider for our household."

1. Contact the human resource department at your company and request a matching form.
2. Complete and mail the matching form, along with your personal gift, to the Bucks County Opportunity Council, 100 Doyle Street, Doylestown, PA 18901. If your company uses an online matching gift platform, submit a matching gift verification request through your company’s online portal, use the organization name and address listed above and the following Employer Identification Number (also referred to as an EIN or Tax Identification Number): 23-6406222
3. We will verify the completed form and return it to the company.
4. The company issues a matching gift contribution to the Opportunity Council.
