Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI)

Why Choose CALICO for Your YPI Project?

YPI gives you the power to make a real difference in your community — and CALICO is a charity where your voice and your project can have a genuine impact on families right here in the North-East.

What CALICO Does

CALICO supports children and families going through some of the toughest moments of their lives by taking away some of the financial stresses incurred going through a cancer treatment.

What Choosing CALICO Means for You

If you choose CALICO, you’ll be helping families at RACH in a direct and meaningful way. Your support could help:

Fund in-ward projects that brighten hospital stays
Create gifts that celebrate the end of treatment
Help fund the Rainbow Trail
Give financial grants to help with the additional costs of treatment

And because YPI funding is unrestricted, we can use your grant exactly where it’s needed most — meaning your impact is real and immediate.
