Volunteer at RCWS
We are grateful to all of the RCWS volunteers who generously devote their time and energy to our organization. If you are interested in volunteering with RCWS during our special events in New York or Moscow, please contact us at main@rcws.org to learn how you can help.
Sponsor RCWS programs
By making a donation to RCWS, you are helping us to improve the quality of life for hundreds of children at risk in Russia in the following program areas: medical care and training of Russian doctors; orphanages and homeless shelters; rehabilitation centers for the disabled or mentally challenged; educational scholarships; and a major New Year party in Moscow for over 2,000 disadvantaged children.
In addition to making a cash donation to RCWS, you can donate appreciated stock or mutual funds. There are many advantages to donating in this way including the minimizing of capital gains and income taxes and obtaining a possible income tax deduction for the full value of the security.
If you would like to make a direct contribution, sponsor an orphan student, or donate stock, please contact us at 212-473-6263 or main@rcws.org.
Get your company involved
We are seeking corporate sponsors to help fund our ongoing programs in Russia. By supporting RCWS, our sponsors provide an invaluable service to hundreds of disadvantaged children in Russia, who rely on our help. It is our policy to channel 100% of approved direct donations toward the designated programs.
In addition, your company could lend support to our organization by participating in RCWS special events. Next year's Petroushka Ball is scheduled on Friday, February 8th, 2008, at the Waldorf=Astoria. It is the most renown and glamorous Russian-American event in New York City attended by artistic, business, and diplomatic elite. We are proud of the fact, that Petroushka Ball has successfully brought together the various waves of Russians who have resettled in the United States. In February 2007, over 800 guests participated in the event.
Your company could help us to assist orphans and sick children in Russia, by providing a corporate donation, purchasing tickets, providing in-kind donation for the auction or raffle, supplying products for the gift bags, and/or purchasing advertisement in Petroushka Ball program. RCWS prominently features sponsors in its public relations materials throughout the year. Please contact our office at 212-473-6263 for tickets, ads, in-kind donations, special sponsorships and directed funding opportunities
