Why This Matters
Because Embody Youth Academy currently operates under Building Hope in the City as our fiscal agent while we work toward full independent 501(c)(3) status in 2026, precise check wording and matching-gift designations are required.
This process ensures that 100% of your donation goes to Embody’s mission and remains properly tracked in our restricted account.
