Youth Without Shelter

Fundraise

Help raise funds for Youth Without Shelter!

There are many ways you can support YWS in your community. No matter what type of fundraiser you wish to host, or financial goal you set, every dollar counts.

Create a Facebook Fundraiser

CLICK HERE to start fundraising on Facebook. Starting a Facebook fundraiser is a simple, meaningful way to support YWS and the youth we serve. Instead of gifts, ask your friends, family, or colleagues to donate and help create lasting impact.

Select Youth Without Shelter from the nonprofit list to create your fully customizable fundraising page! Select your fundraising goal, campaign timeline, and start inviting friends to join the cause.

Here are just a few ideas to get you started:

  • With friends & family: Create a birthday, wedding, or anniversary fundraiser and invite loved ones to give in honor of your special day.

  • With colleagues: Turn an office milestone, retirement, or team-building event into a chance to give back together.

  • For holidays: Celebrate the season of giving by launching a Thanksgiving, holiday, or New Year’s fundraiser.

  • With your community: Host a neighborhood BBQ, sports challenge, trivia night, or art show and pair it with a Facebook fundraiser to expand your reach.
