As 2025 winds down, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible generosity pouring in during this season of giving. Whether you’re participating in our Meals & Magic fundraiser, supporting us through Bluegrass Gives, or planning a personal year-end gift, your support means the world to the youth and families we serve.
This time of year reminds us how much good can happen when people rally around a shared belief: that every child deserves safety, support, and a chance to heal.
Why Give at Year-End?
While giving is important all year long, the end of the calendar year holds special significance – for both nonprofits and donors alike.
Here’s why:
- It’s a critical time for funding. Many nonprofits, including Key Assets Kentucky, rely on the final weeks of the year to meet annual fundraising goals that help us plan and deliver services in the year ahead.
- Your gift can go further. Many businesses offer matching gifts during the holiday season, and nonprofits may have donors offering matches to encourage giving.
- Tax benefits. If you itemize deductions, charitable donations made before December 31 may be deducted from your 2025 taxes. That means your generosity can make an impact while reducing your taxable income. (Always consult with your tax advisor for details based on your filing status.)
What Your Gift Supports
Key Assets Kentucky serves youth across the Commonwealth who are facing complex challenges – many have experienced trauma, separation from family, or mental health struggles. Your gift helps us provide:
- Trauma-informed therapy and behavioral health support
- Safe, stable homes for youth in our Children in Community Care program
- Life skills development, outings, and enrichment opportunities
- Basic needs like hygiene kits, clothing, and emergency food
- Support for families and caregivers during times of transition
When you give, you’re not just making a donation – you’re helping us say “yes” to a child who needs a consistent, caring team behind them.
Many Ways to Give, One Mission
Right now, you can support Key Assets Kentucky through several active campaigns:
- Meals & Magic, our annual celebration and fundraiser
- Bluegrass Gives, a community-wide giving movement
- Or through a direct year-end gift made any time before December 31
However you choose to give, know that it matters. Every donation helps us end the year strong and begin the new one ready to serve even more youth and families across Kentucky.
