Regular or monthly giving is a simple but powerful way you can help vulnerable and disadvantaged young people to change the direction of their lives by providing vital support, services, resources, and life skills.
When you join our community of regular givers your support goes beyond the donations you make. Consistent income streams have a powerful impact on the way we work, enabling us to strengthen our commitment to creating new futures for young people, helping them to navigate life challenges and thrive in the community.
Long-time supporter and friend of Brisbane Youth Service, Sam Miller has been a member of our regular giving community for over four years. Sam is passionate about helping young people and dedicated to making a difference by giving back to the community.
“I found setting up automated, monthly donations was the most simple, affordable way for me to make a real difference that had lasting impact. I’m not a plumber, so I pay one to fix the busted pipe in my backyard. I’m not a lawyer, so I pay one to write up a contract for me. And I don’t understand the struggles of homeless youth like Brisbane Youth Service does, so I donate so they can help those that need it most,” Sam said.
Sam’s company, Alexilum also donates regularly through its Under Cover Community Giving and Support Program. Read more here.
