If you join iGive and you get the iGive button for 90 days, the Foundation receives $3.00 just like that.  If you do make on-line purchases use the iGive button to shop from over 2,000 on-line retailers.  They don't charge more, but the companies make charitable donations up to 26% of your purchase and it comes direct to the Foundation.

Here is what iGive says:  "We're giving $3 to Washington Youth Academy Foundation for every new iGive member you refer for them. No purchase required. It doesn't get any simpler. It's another way iGive is 300% (or more!) better than Amazon Smile.
Once they try the iGive Button for PCs and Macs for 90 days, we'll automatically credit Washington Youth Academy Foundation with $3. We know that helping is so simple and automatic with the Button, we expect they'll shop and help even more.
 Feels good, does good, and it's so easy. Travel, office supplies, and clothing, too. Each purchase at Walmart, Jet.com, QVC, Staples, and so many more stores. Washington Youth Academy Foundation gets an average of 3.00% with every purchase.  Amazon Smile is just 0.5%."

The Kitsap Great Give is coming April 23.  This is a fantastic way to donate to the Washington Youth Academy Foundation.  We get a match percent from the sponsors of the Great Give.  Please let your friends and family know.  We will post more information as we get closer.

We could use your help now finding company or corporate donors to match what we raise.  They can match up to any amount from $100 to $5,000.  Every penny we raise goes directly to support the Youth Academy programs and provide financial assistance to cadet graduates from continuing education to job training and more.  We can't do it without your support.

We've made some changes to our financial assistance forms and they will posted soon.  Be sure to look for them.  We are anxious to help our WYA Grads achieve their dreams.  We will have a new e-mail address to send your forms to make it easier to apply.  Watch the news blog for the update.

We can use your help passing the word to family and friends to help your cadets succeed by donating during #GivingTuesday.  It is coming November 27th and is a great way to make your donation count.
