Since 1997, the YCS Foundation has been a vital part of our mission—raising funds to support innovative programs and services that go beyond what government funding alone can provide. From making houses homes to launching new therapeutic initiatives, the Foundation ensures children and families in our care have the resources they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
We invite you to join us in our mission to create brighter futures across New Jersey. Together, we can build better lives for those in need. Through fundraising events, grant support, and generous donations of goods, services, and time, the Foundation helps to enhance over 60 YCS programs across New Jersey. Some of our signature efforts include:
- Annual Golf Classic and Fundraising Events
- Holiday Campaign and the Secret Santa Gift Drive
- Spring Blossoms Art Exhibit & Awards Show
Your support makes a tangible difference. Here are a few ways to give back:
- Donate or collaborate as a community partner
- Sponsor or attend an event
- Organize a gift or supply drive
- Donate in honor or memory of a loved one
- Include YCS in your estate plans
- Double your impact through matching gifts
Corporate Support and Group Volunteering play an essential role in supporting the mission of YCS. There are various ways your business can get involved:
