How to Donate to Del Norte Child Care Council (dnccc.com)

Updated

You can donate to Del Norte Child Care Council (DNCCC) online through the PayPal link or donation button posted on its website. The site states that donations "support our efforts," and PayPal is the only payment platform named in the available site information. No donation amounts, membership tiers, or tax-deduction details appear in that information, so confirm those directly with the organization if they matter to you.

Ways to Give Listed on the Site

The homepage presents two paths to the same PayPal destination:

  • PayPal link — the text link labeled as a PayPal donation link.
  • Donation button — the button displayed below that link.

Both are described as ways to "donate to support our efforts." Because the site does not publish a donation form with preset amounts, you choose the amount inside PayPal after the link opens.

What Your Donation Supports

According to the organization's mission statement, DNCCC works to "promote and encourage the healthy growth, education, care, and development of children through increased community and family awareness of children's needs." Its listed supporting services for Del Norte County include:

Service What it covers
Child care subsidy Financial support for child care costs
Family child care referrals Connecting families with providers
Food program For family child care providers
Toy lending library Borrowable toys for children
School readiness Preparation for school entry
Child abuse prevention Prevention-focused programming
Car seat lending Loan of car seats
Child care centers Preschool and after-school care

Donations are framed as general support for this range of work rather than for a single named program.

If You Want to Donate but the Link Doesn't Work

The site does not describe troubleshooting steps, so the practical fallback is to contact the organization directly. The Resource & Referral Department phone number listed on the page is 707-464-8311. The site also points to its Facebook page for updates and resources, which is another place to check for current giving information.

Visiting or Mailing a Donation

The page notes an ongoing construction closure: beginning July 29, a stretch of Front Street between Play Street and Highway 101 is closed as part of the Front Street reconstruction project. The office remains open, and both public parking lots next to the office stay accessible. If you are coming from Highway 101, the site says the parking lot next to the clock tower should be the easiest to reach, and it advises allowing a few extra minutes and following the City's posted detour map. The site does not list a mailing address for donations, so call ahead if you plan to give in person.
