Gift in Your Will or Living Trust

Leaving a gift in your will or living trust is a powerful way to stand with LGBTQ+ youth — now and for years to come. This type of legacy gift costs nothing today, yet ensures that safe shelter, affirming care, and life-changing support will be there for the next generation. With just a few simple words, you can make a lasting impact.

Gift of Life Insurance

Donating a life insurance policy—whether by naming our organization as a beneficiary or transferring ownership—is a thoughtful way to create lasting change. A gift of life insurance can turn a modest investment into a powerful legacy, helping provide shelter, stability, and a sense of belonging to vulnerable young people for generations to come.

Beneficiary Designations

Naming Lost-n-Found Youth as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other financial account is a simple, meaningful way to support LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. This option doesn’t require changing your will and can often be completed online. It’s an easy way to ensure your legacy helps provide safety, support, and hope for those who need it most.

Smart Giving From Your IRA

If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free donation directly from your IRA to support Lost-n-Found Youth. This type of gift—known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—can satisfy your required minimum distribution and reduce your taxable income, all while providing life-changing support to LGBTQ+ youth.

GIFT OF CASH

A gift of cash is one of the most straightforward ways to support Lost-n-Found Youth. Your donation goes directly to providing safe shelter, essential services, and affirming support. Whether it’s a one-time gift or part of your legacy planning, your generosity helps create a future where every LGBTQ+ young person has the chance to feel safe, seen, and supported.
