WAYS TO GIVE
Monthly Giving
Your monthly charitable gift, also known as a recurring donation, is invaluable to Foundation For Youth. It provides us with a consistent and reliable stream of income, enabling us to better plan and strengthen our programs that serve young people in our community. With your ongoing support, we can continue offering mentorship, educational opportunities, and life-changing resources to help youth thrive. Spreading your contributions out over time not only makes it easier for you to manage your giving, but it also allows you to make a larger impact with smaller, regular donations. Your commitment plays a key role in empowering the next generation, and together, we’re building a brighter, more promising future for the youth we serve.
Annual Gift
Your annual gift will have an immediate and direct impact, supporting the kids who need us most and helping to provide essential programs and services that foster growth and opportunity.
Cash: The simplest way to give is by check or making an online payment, providing us with the resources to continue our work immediately.
Stock: If you prefer, you can transfer shares directly to us through your broker, allowing you to make a meaningful contribution while potentially benefiting from tax advantages.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF): DAFs are charitable investment accounts that allow you to contribute funds and then make distributions to your chosen charities over time. This flexible option helps you plan your giving while supporting the youth we serve.
No matter the method, your contribution makes a lasting difference, helping us create brighter futures for the children and families in our community.
Planned Giving
Planned giving is the process of making charitable contributions that are arranged in the present but allocated at a future date, often as a way to leave a lasting legacy. These gifts, commonly referred to as legacy gifts, can be made through a will, trust, or other estate planning tools. While many planned gifts are granted when a donor passes away, they can also include other giving options, such as life insurance policies or retirement account beneficiaries. By choosing to make a planned gift, you ensure that your support continues to make a meaningful impact on future generations, helping to fund programs and initiatives that will benefit those in need for years to come. Your legacy of giving has the power to transform lives and shape the future.
Tribute Gifts
A meaningful way to honor a friend, teacher, loved one, or to create a lasting tribute to someone who has passed is through a charitable gift in their name. This thoughtful gesture not only celebrates their life and legacy but also ensures that their memory continues to have a positive impact on others. Whether in recognition of a special occasion or as a tribute after a loss, your donation helps support important causes and leaves a meaningful, enduring mark in their honor. It’s a heartfelt way to keep their spirit alive while making a difference in the lives of those in need.
