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 for details about the program.
In-Kind Contributions
Our teens need many household items as they move into independent living. In-Kind contributions can be delivered to our group home at 931 N. Rutledge in Springfield weekdays between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
We are always looking for assistance with our fundraisers. The annual Italian Dinner in particular is very labor intensive. Contact the office if you have an interest in volunteering
