Dare to Share!

Philanthropic support is the backbone of every non-profit organization.  The American Youth Foundation is blessed to have numerous individuals, corporations, foundations, parents, alumni and staff who support our organization in a variety of ways.

 

In 2000, the American Youth Foundation embarked on the Dare to Share Campaign to enable us to serve young people for generations to come. The Dare to Share Campaign helped us build an infrastructure to enable us to have a lasting and significant impact on children; providing young people with enduring values to shape their character and inspire them to become future leaders. We have inherited a proud legacy from AYF’s Founders who preceded us, and it is now our responsibility to create a legacy of continued investment in area youth.

Donors who give year after year sustain our organization. The Annual Fund provides scholarships for deserving youth, as well as for ongoing operating support and staff development. It is vital that we strive to increase the investment in our Annual Fund so that AYF’s mission to serve children can continue now, and for years to come. We hope that you will answer the call to be “one of those audacious few”, and will continue to dare to share.
