Donate in memory of someone
A memorial gift to a New York youth program

To make a memorial donation, open our donate page, tick "Give in memory or in honor of someone," type their name and choose an amount. Add a family member’s email and we will send them a short note that a gift was made in that name, never the amount. The gift goes to next season for a Queens youth basketball program.

How to give in someone's memory, online

  1. Open the donate page. This link opens it with the memorial option already ticked.
  2. Choose "In memory of" (or "In honor of" for someone living) and type their name.
  3. If you want a family member to know, add their name and email. This is optional.
  4. Pick an amount, once or monthly, and pay through Stripe's secure checkout. The name you typed shows on the checkout page so you can check the spelling.

The tax receipt comes to you, because you made the gift. It carries our EIN and states that no goods or services were provided.

What the family receives

If you give us an email, the foundation sends that person a short personal note saying a gift was made in their loved one's name and who made it. We never share the amount. The note is written and sent by a board member, not a machine, so allow a few days.
