Legacy Sponsorships

Empower the next generation of humanitarians by supporting

Youthlinc's mission as a reliable philanthropist. Legacy Sponsors provide critical funding that opens the door for deserving volunteers to participate in our service programs - and your contribution can directly make an experience more accessible for participants.

Become a Legacy Sponsor and make life-changing service possible.

What is a Legacy Sponsor?

Legacy Sponsors are dedicated donors who contribute at least $1,200 within a calendar year to our Sponsorship Fund to support the service experiences of Youthlinc students or mentors.

These contributions earn Legacy Sponsor Rewards, which are fully transferable and can be applied to reduce the cost of a trip for any participant - yourself, a family member, or a designated student or mentor.

How Legacy Sponsorship Works

Legacy Sponsor Commitment & Contribution

$1,200 donated within one year qualifies you as a Legacy Sponsor and begins accruing Legacy Sponsor Rewards

Legacy Sponsorship Allocation

Of the $1,200 contributed:

$1,100 directly offsets the trip cost for the sponsorship recipient

$100 supports the administrative expenses of Youthlinc

There is a limit of one Legacy Sponsorship awarded to a person each year (sponsorships are not "stackable")

Transferable Legacy Sponsor Rewards

Rewards can be given to:

Any Youthlinc Student

Any Youthlinc Mentor

Yourself or a designated individual

Accrual of Benefits

Benefits will accrue if a minimum of one Legacy Sponsorship is donated each year. If a year is skipped, benefits are forfeited. If a donor resumes as a Legacy Sponsor, they will start over at Silver status.

Accrued rewards may be held for up to two years.

If no recipient is designated within that time frame, the sponsorship will be awarded to a deserving applicant selected by Youthlinc.
