There are many ways you can make a positive difference in the lives of youth in our community. One of more of these options might be right for you!

Contact our Fund Development team at 780.468.7070 or giving@yess.org if you have any questions or want to move forward with your gift!

In August 2021, we published our first-ever planned giving newsletter. For us, legacy comes through relationship. Who has touched your life in a deeply influential way, and when have you done the same? For young people experiencing crisis and housing instability, it is often just ONE SINGLE individual who takes an interest, sees their value, or who just believes in them that changes the trajectory of their own self perceptions an future. This is the power of one and the power of an intentional plan to make an impact. Your planned gift has the power to impact the lives of young people in a very real and direct way.

Charitable Bequest

You can leave a lasting legacy for youth by making a bequest in your will.

Endowment

YESS has an Endowment Fund with the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF). An endowment fund means the principal gift is not spent but income from that gift supports YESS every year.

Publicly Traded Securities

Save taxes and increase the impact of your gift to YESS through an in-kind gift of publicly traded securities. There is more information on this Gift of Securities form. If you are ready to make a donation of securities, please use this letter of authorization.

Insurance Gifts

You can transfer ownership of an existing life insurance policy to YESS and you’ll receive a charitable tax receipt for the value of the policy.

Donate a Car Canada

Donate a Car Canada makes donating your vehicle simple for you and for your favourite charity!
