At YOLO Foundation, every gift you give transforms more than a moment—it transforms a life. Your generosity helps us grant unforgettable dreams to adults facing terminal illnesses in Blount, Knox, and Sevier Counties. These dreams are not about possessions, but cherished experiences that bring hope, legacy, and joy to recipients and their loved ones. By giving, you join us in an extraordinary mission to turn final wishes into lasting memories, bringing compassion and dignity when it is needed most. Thank you for helping us make life sweeter and more meaningful for those who need it most.
Volunteer
We will almost always need volunteers for events, fund raisers and helping with Dreams. If you love helping others, we'd love to hear from you. Please email us with your contact information and we will contact you soon.
One Time
Every contribution makes a difference, no matter the size. Your generosity helps us make dreams come true for those with little time left.
Individual Retirement Account
Individuals can use their IRA to make charitable donations through a process called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This method offers significant tax advantages and can fulfill required minimum distributions (RMDs) for eligible account holders.
Gift of Stock
Donating stock—especially appreciated stock held for more than one year—can be a highly effective way to support a non-profit while maximizing your tax benefits.
Gift Planning
Gift planning—often called planned giving—is the process of arranging significant charitable contributions to a non-profit, typically structured to take effect at a future date or as part of a donor’s overall financial or estate plan. These gifts can provide long-term support for the organization and offer donors the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.
Corporate Sponsorship
If your company would like to support us through activities like event sponsorships or being a YOLO Corporate Partner, we would love to hear from you.
Fundraisers
If you are interested in hosting a fund raiser for YOLO, please call or email us to discuss how we can work together to create a win-win.
