Third-Party Fundraisers – All year long, Trinity partners with businesses and organizations that host third-party fundraisers in the form of collection drives, Walk-A-Thon’s, Casino Nights and Golf Tournaments, etc. Please call 1-800-KIDS-730 if you are interested in hosting a fundraising event for children in foster care.
Corporate Matching Programs–You may be able to increase or even double the size of your gift to Trinity Youth Services if you work for a company that matches employee charitable donations. Check with your company to see if they have a matching gift program today.
Gifts of Securities – Trinity accepts stocks, bonds, and all other securities as donations. In most cases, a gift of appreciated securities entitles you to an income tax charitable deduction of the fair market value of the securities on the effective date of the gift.
Planned Gifts – Consider a future gift. Planned giving is an excellent way to reduce or avoid estate inheritance taxes and help to ensure fulfillment of Trinity’s long-term fundraising goals. You may make a planned gift through a variety of vehicles, such as bequests, life insurance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRA’s), and charitable trusts. Please consult your financial or legal advisors when considering these types of gifts.
Programs for Giving
The Michael A. Alexander Scholarship Fund was established to assist foster children in Trinity’s care that pursue their academic and/or vocational education by funding tuition, books, supplies, and school fees as well as provides funds for room and board, utilities and basic living items (ie. pots, pans, bedding, etc.)Michael A. Alexander (1931-2004) served on the Board of Trustees for Trinity Youth Services for more than twenty years, with much of that time serving as the Board President. We welcome contributions to the Michael A. Alexander Scholarship Fund. Applications for the scholarship are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Adopt-A-Site
Each of our 15 locations, 9 foster care offices and 6 group homes for children, all have activities and site needs. We partner with corporations to do hands-on employee volunteer “beautification” projects as well as develop ongoing site adoptions. Our list of needs ranges from sponsoring a summer picnic for an office of 45 foster children to remodeling a kitchen in need of repair at a local group home for at-risk youth. To view a location near you, please check out our site listings.
