How to Donate
How your support helps
It is only through the generous support of our donors and sponsors that we are able to make great strides in saving after school sports programs. Your generosity is what allows us to fulfill our core purpose and affect so many lives.
How Funds are Used
What’s even more important than the money we raise is what we do with it. We are extremely careful how we spend the dollars you entrust in our care. As part of this responsibility, we:
- Keep administrative and fundraising expenses at 25 percent
- Spend 75 cents of every dollar raised on mission based programs
Why Donate
After School Sports programs are being cut at every level in every city and town across the United States. It is only a matter of time before all after school sports programs are eliminated completely or require children to pay in order to participate. Private funding remains critical if we are to save these programs. It is only through the generous support of our donors that we are able to make great strides in saving after school sports. Your generosity is what allows us to fulfill our mission and affect so many lives. Active4Youth understands that you have numerous priorities and demands on your resources. We deeply appreciate all gifts regardless of size.

The impact of corporate matching support can be enormous. Ask your employer if it participates in a matching gift program.
To find out if you work for a company who matches, consult your human resources office, which will provide you with a matching gift form. For further details contact us at: 509-868-6201 or bresoohn--@--hotmail.com
3. Designated Giving
An unrestricted gift, because of its flexibility, allows Active4Youth to meet the unpredictable and constantly changing needs of the future. However, many donors prefer their contribution to be designated for a specific purpose. Active4Youth allows designated giving for gifts of at least $500. Major areas of consideration include: Equipment, Unique Sports Programs, or Locations. For further details contact us at: 509-868-6201 or bresoohn--@--hotmail.com
