As we look ahead to 2026, we hope you’ll consider investing in CYD with a year-end, tax-deductible gift. Your generosity fuels our year-round programming and provides life-enriching opportunities that help students thrive in every area of their lives.
Because of supporters like you, 100% of CYD graduates have completed high school, 95% have enrolled in a post-secondary program, 75% are either still enrolled or have earned their degree, and 35% of our alumni who earned a bachelor’s have gone on to earn a master’s degree.
We cannot do this work alone. Your support ensures we can continue offering the resources, relationships, and opportunities that make a lasting difference for our young people and their futures. Every donation—no matter the size—helps students of all ages reach their full potential.
Here are the two ways to be a Holiday Hero!
CYD programming is supported in part by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners under the guidance of the Department of Community Development.
Write “Holiday Hero” in the comment section if your donation is for gifts for a child!
