Dear Friend,

As we close out the year, you may be asking how you can make a meaningful impact on immigrant children and their families during the holidays.

Today there are more ways than ever for you to support immigrant children and ensure they are protected, accompanied, and defended in the year ahead.

Here’s a few ways you can give while tax savings are highest, Friend:

Direct Donation: Our initial $20,000 matching challenge is now complete and we have an additional new $10,000 matching gift from a supporter in Connecticut to get us over our fundraising finish line! Give before midnight on December 31st and have your gift matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000.
Become a Sustaining Donor: Consider turning your one-time gift into a monthly recurring donation to help ensure that no immigrant child faces the immigration system alone – not now and not in the uncertain times ahead.
Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Contribution: Many DAF donors are choosing to consolidate their gifts this year to make the most of tax benefits before 2026!
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD): Are you 70 ½ or older? Make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA. It’s one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.
Employer Match: Check your employer’s matching portal to see if you can double or even triple your impact. Many employers match donations, especially during the end-of-year season.
Estate/Legacy Gifts: Your legacy can help ensure immigrant children and their families are safe, supported, and free. To include the Young Center in your will or estate plans, contact us at [email protected].

Every donation fuels critical advocacy, family reunification work, and direct support for immigrant children navigating an immigration system built for adults. Every gift – large or small – helps ensure no child faces our immigration system alone.

Friend, will you make a holiday gift today?
