The Youth Impact Foundation (Verge Awards 501c3 Fund)
Individuals , grantmakers and businesses may make cash and non-cash contributions to support the fundraising efforts of these students. The more they raise, the more impact they can achieve!
The Verge Awards are a wonderful way for creative youth to express themselves during this emotional time, hear applause and encouragement in spite of high school event cancellations, and help others by producing weekly benefits that raise funds for selected causes via the Youth Impact Foundation (Verge Awards 501c3 charitable fund).
The first four benefit shows will support:
- Racial Equality
- Coronavirus Relief
- LGBTQ+ Youth
- Vote 2020
If you're thinking about supporting any of these causes please consider doing so through this fund! Why? Because the more these students raise, the more impact they can achieve and the more empowering their giving experience! Indeed, we hope this will ignite in them a life-long desire to help others. That's why we're:
- donating 100% of profit from sponsorship proceeds
- encouraging celebrities, artists and businesses to donate prizes and experiences for fundraising sweepstakes, and
- encouraging individuals and businesses to donate directly to the Youth Impact Foundation (501c3 Fund)
Eligible gifts:
Individuals and businesses may donate gifts of cash, stock, real estate and tangible personal property such as art, antiques and collectibles. You may also donate high value prizes for our fundraising sweepstakes. (These often generate more proceeds for charity than market value, and far more than auctions with just one winner).
