Northwest Network for Youth accepts donations in cash or in-kind.  The Federal grant that provides most of our funding requires a 10% local match.  Services such as serving on the Board of Directors can be counted as local match at fair value.  Donations can be designated for either Network activities (unrestricted) or the youth scholarship program (restricted).  We cannot use Federal Grant funds for youth scholarships, so the scholarship program is critical for involving young people in Network services.
