Wesley-Rankin Community Center is reliant on private donors that make our work in West Dallas possible. We cannot complete this work without your support! Here are some of the ways that you can support our mission of community transformation.
Cash gifts can be made online through our secure main portal. For checks, our mailing address is 3100 Crossman Avenue, Dallas, TX 75212.
Many employers offer matching gift programs! You can amplify your cash donation through a matching employer gift. Wesley-Rankin is on most employer gift websites, like Benevity and YourCause. We've also been blessed to receive matching gifts from employers like Johnson & Johnson and ExxonMobil. To register our organization, our unique employer identification number that identifies us as a registered nonprofit is 75-0808775. If you need further assistance, please send an email to give@wesleyrankin.org.
Wesley-Rankin benefits tremendously from monthly gifts! Steady support allows us to budget more effectively to bring more health and education resources to West Dallas. On the "Donate" page, select "recurring" and the frequency of your choice. If you wish to receive a consolidated receipt at the end of the fiscal year, please select that option on the form.
To include Wesley-Rankin Community Center in an estate plan means that you are making a unique and incredible statement of the value of our mission.

Also, when in the future we launch a legacy society, we'd like to know if you would like to be included in our communications for potential future small gatherings. Please contact Rachel M. Reis, Development Manager, at rachel@wesleyrankin.org to discuss estate giving options.
Wesley-Rankin has WRCC branded birthday cards that we can send in honor of someone's birthday upon receipt of any amount of donation.

If you would like to discuss other options, please email give@wesleyrankin.org.
