How Can I Support WAYA?

  • Give a general donation in honor of your coach, in honor of your teacher, in honor of your student, in honor of your player or in memory of a loved one. All donations support WAYA’s mission to help Austin youth reach their potential in a safe and fun community environment.

  • Become a Family Day sponsor. Family Day is WAYA’s biggest fundraiser of the year. WAYA’s Family Day Sponsorships fund much needed improvements for WAYA fields and facilities as well as educational and sports programming enhancements to benefit players, Preschool students, families and fans. Family Day sponsors are recognized throughout WAYA with field and gym signage as well as in WAYA marketing. 

  • Corporate Matching. Do you know that many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees? Some companies will even match with spouse's or retiree's gifts too. Please check with your human resources department and use WAYA's EIN (tax exempt) number: 74-2108180. Please note that each company has a different matching program, and it may take up to 2-6 months for WAYA to receive and acknowledge your gift.

 

  • Donate to The West Austin Youth Association Endowment Fund. The West Austin Youth Association Endowment Fund was established in 1998 at the Austin Community Foundation to support and enable WAYA to serve Austin youth and their families. An endowment is like a “savings account” -- it is a fund that holds its principal (corpus) in perpetuity and provides an annual distribution calculated with a spending policy established by the Board of Governors of the Austin Community Foundation to protect the endowment. Gifts of all sizes are welcome and can include Outright Gifts including cash, bonds, publicly traded stocks, closely held securities, real estate and other property and Planned (Deferred) Gifts including bequests, revocable living and charitable trusts, life insurance, and gift annuities. A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make to the WAYA Endowment Fund. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to WAYA. Please notify the Executive Director or the Development Director if you have included WAYA in your estate plan or would like to name WAYA as a beneficiary. The West Austin Youth Association Endowment Fund provides a source of income in perpetuity and with your support is a source of long-term stability and security for WAYA.
