Donna Delarosa’s Story
At SCO Family of Services, we know that recurring gifts are the backbone of our mission. They provide steady, reliable support that allows us to plan ahead and deliver life-changing programs for children, youth, adults, and families across New York City and Long Island. Few people understand this better than Donna Delarosa.
As Program Director of Community Support Services, Donna sees firsthand the impact of SCO’s work every day. But her commitment doesn’t stop at her professional role, she also gives back personally as a recurring donor. Month after month, Donna contributes to ensure that the individuals and families we serve have the resources they need to thrive.
“Recurring gifts are such an important part of keeping our mission successful,” says Chief Development Officer Juliette McKenna in a recent acknowledgment letter to Donna. “Thanks to your generous monthly gift, SCO Family of Services is able to help vulnerable New Yorkers build a strong foundation for the future.”
Donna’s story is a powerful reminder that philanthropy isn’t just about one-time acts of generosity, it’s about sustained commitment. Her monthly contributions help SCO provide early childhood education, launch youth into adulthood, stabilize families, and support individuals with special needs. This consistency ensures that SCO can respond to urgent needs and invest in long-term solutions.
When asked why she gives, Donna points to the same values that guide her work: “I believe in what we do. Every dollar makes a difference, and giving monthly is my way of making sure that difference continues.”
