Your Legacy.Their Future.
A gift that carries forward — touching lives for years to come.
At some point, each of us quietly asks: How do I want to be remembered?
Every young person we serve arrives carrying something remarkable. A gift. A spark. A story still becoming. You've seen what happens when that gift is met with real connection — it begins to unfold. That's why this work matters to you. And why your support matters so much.
A legacy gift to Youth Mentoring Connection is a way of saying:this must continue.
Through a simple bequest, a retirement designation, or another form of planned giving, you help ensure that the relationships we build today will carry forward — touching lives for years to come, reaching young people whose names we do not yet know, but whose futures will be shaped by what you set in motion.
Simple, Meaningful Options
Planned giving is more accessible than most people realize. These are the most common ways to extend your impact.
Retirement Plan Designation
Naming Youth Mentoring Connection as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account is a tax-efficient way to give, often bypassing income taxes that heirs would otherwise pay.
We recommend consulting your attorney or financial advisor when considering a planned gift. We're happy to coordinate with them and provide the details you need.
"This felt like a way to carry forward what matters most to me. Not just in my lifetime, but beyond it."
