Fundraising Events
The YoungLives committee can plan and host fundraising events to raise the portion of the budget not
secured through donor contributions. These events should be tailored to your community and can
collaborate with broader area annual fundraising events. YoungLives-specific fundraising events are
also common. These can include drives collecting change in baby bottles, fashion shows, luncheons,
walk-a-thons, game nights, or other events.
Foundations and Grants
Raising funds through grants and gifts from foundations, agencies, and corporations is another way to
raise additional funds for YoungLives. Funding through grants may be available specifically for
YoungLives, even if Young Life may not meet their qualifications. Grant support through foundation
and outside entities requires long term planning and should be seen as a supplement to your
Relationship Centered Engagement budget plan. Grant writing is a great opportunity to invite the
support of a qualified committee member or friend of Young Life who is trained in it. The Young Life
Service Center also has a Foundations and Corporate Relations Team that helps staff cultivate these
opportunities to increase funding that will allow you to reach more adolescents.
