Weddings: The I DO Foundation. Couples and guests making wedding-related purchases can help TCP without a dime leaving a pocket. When a Gift Registry is lodged with I DO's partner stores and TCP is designated as the charitable beneficiary, a percentage of 10% or less will be deducted automatically from those purchases and sent as a donation to us. I DO also allows a couple to create a Charity Registry so that their guests can donate to the charity of the couple's choice in lieu of purchasing a gift for them. When wedding couples do this, The Custody Project receives approximately 90% of your donation, and 100% when you elect to cover I DO's processing fee. (This Just Give program may end on December 31, 2016. When you click on The I DO Foundation Donation Registry link, only our address and mission statement may be visible until you log in).

Email cards can be sent without cost, and the company may mail/email both gift card(s) for you. When gift card recipients designate The Custody Project, our families benefit.
