Planned Giving

At Advocates for Youth, we envision a society in which all young people are valued, respected, and treated with dignity; sexuality is accepted as a healthy part of being human; and youth sexual development is normalized and embraced. 

Making a legacy gift to Advocates for Youth is a thoughtful way to ensure that our efforts—with you as a partner—enable us to shift the cultural paradigm in which we live from one that too often stigmatizes youth and youth sexual development to one that embraces youth as partners and recognizes sexuality as normal and healthy.

If you are ready to commit to building youth power for future generations, we can help you. There are several options for legacy giving: 

• Bequest gifts
• Securities gifts
• Life Insurance gifts
• Personal Property gifts
• Retirement and IRA gifts

If you are considering making a bequest of a percentage of your estate to Advocates for Youth, you might use the following language in your will or trust:
