For Supporters & Donors

Ways to Give

​

• One-Time Donations You can make a one-time gift through our secure donation link. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports young leaders in training, advocacy, and community building.

​

• Monthly or Recurring Giving Becoming a monthly donor helps us plan with confidence and provide consistent support to participants. Even a small recurring gift makes a long-term impact.

• Sponsorships: Sponsors help cover the cost of specific programs, conferences, or advocacy trips. This may include sponsoring meals, transportation, or training materials for youth participants. Sponsorship opportunities are listed on our website or can be requested directly from our team.

Recognition & Engagement

​

We value every supporter and ensure they feel part of the movement:

​

• Acknowledgment: Donors receive a thank-you message confirming their gift.

• Impact Updates: Regular updates share the stories of young leaders and communities touched by your support.

• Invitations: Major supporters and recurring donors are invited to attend YDN events or conferences as guests, mentors, or partners.

• Opportunities to Engage: Supporters can mentor youth, share professional expertise, or collaborate in YDN projects if they wish.

​

Your support is not just financial; it is a partnership in shaping the next generation of changemakers.

How Your Support Helps

​

Your contribution goes directly to supporting young people and their communities. Because YDN is 100% volunteer-led, no funds are used for salaries or profit. Donations are invested where they matter most:

​​

• Training & Education: equipping young leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to grow.

• Transportation & Lodging: ensuring youth can attend conferences and advocacy events regardless of financial barriers.

• Meals & Materials: covering the basic needs of participants so they can focus fully on learning and growth.

• Emergency Support: providing small but vital assistance for urgent needs during programs or advocacy trips.

​

We believe in transparency and accountability. Supporters will always know how their contributions are used, and impact stories are regularly shared through newsletters and reports.
