Plan A Gift to Help the Agency In the Future

• Leave RYF as one of several beneficiaries or as primary beneficiary when you purchase a life insurance policy.  There may be tax benefits for you.
• Leave a bequest to the troubled teens at the Rutledge Youth Foundation in your will.  This will insure future services for our teens.
• Set up a "Charitable Remainder Trust" for many tax advantages to you and benefits for our teens.  Call the office for more details.

Give a Monetary contribution To Help Our Teens Today

• We Suggest a "special" gift of $1 for each child in our program.  An average daily caseload is 120.  Of course any amount is greatly appreciated.
• Give a memorial gift as a special tribute to a beloved family member, friend or pet.
• For $1,000 you, your business or civic group can "adopt" a teen and at RYF you can make a big difference in the life of a child!  Call the RYF office and we will send you a "Adopt a Teen" brochure with details about the program.
