Donors are vital to Young Life at the local area and regional levels. Because Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level, donors’ financial gifts account for all of an area's budget and part of a region's budget. Your donation helps areas hire and train staff and provide essential administrative support to the area. Your contributions also support operating expenses such as salaries and other ministry costs and can help send kids to Young Life camps.

Write a check to “Young Life,” write “KS30” on the memo line, and send it to our local office:

Douglas County Young Life
600 Lawrence Avenue Ste E1
Lawrence, KS 66049

Donations to Young Life/Wyldlife are tax-deductible. Young Life will send you a receipt, along with a stub to return with your next gift. To request an Easy Giving Form for automatic donations from your bank account or credit card, just ask and we’ll send you information (see “Contact Information” in left-hand column).

Many times people ask, "What's a normal gift to Young Life?" This is hard--as gifts vary as much as people's budgets vary. We've had a few folks that are able to give one-time gifts of $5,000, $10,000, and even $13,000--which goes a long way towards our annual budget of $108,000.

Most of us who care about kids would like to give this way--but simply cannot, so we give on a monthly basis. Gifts tend to range from $25 to $600 per month. Any gift, no matter what size, is greatly appreciated and needed.

We believe that in order to reach kids we must go where they go and enter their world. Every week in our Douglas County, Young Life staff and volunteers can be found at school events and practices and at kids' favorite hangouts. In many cases, they are the only adult friends kids have in their lives.

Our work could not be done without your support. We are grateful for your gift to Young Life. Thank you for all you do to help us reach generations of kids who desperately need to hear a message of hope.
