About the Foundation

The Young Life Foundation was established in 1961 for the sole purpose of financially encouraging​ the strategic ministry work of Young Life. Over the years there have been many people who have helped guide the Foundation through both good and bad times economically. Today, we have a strong group of directors and officers, and they are working to provide constant leadership to ensure that the gifts that have been entrusted to Young Life are managed responsibly​ and deployed in a fashion that builds eternal significance.

Two organizations that we in the Young Life Foundation have found to be especially helpful to donors as they plan and manage their giving are The National Christian Foundation​ and Generous Giving. Both have a great history of serving friends and supporters of Young Life.
