Making a Donation to YES!

Thank you deeply for your gifts and for all that you do to help build a thriving, just and sustainable world.

YES! gladly accepts your support through online monetary donations.  Google is covering all credit card processing fees when you donate online here.  100% of your donation goes straight to YES!.

Most of our constituents are young leaders from economically struggling communities, and more than 75% of the young changemakers we’re working with this year come from communities of color.  All of our constituents are selected, out of sometimes hundreds of applications, for their leadership, commitment, and skill as catalysts for positive change in our troubled yet precious world. 

YES! provides tuition scholarships to the majority of them, and travel scholarships for many of our events.  Here are some tangible examples of what your support makes possible:
$50  Feeds a Jam participant delicious, healthy, local and organic food for two days
$100 Provides technical services to a Jam alumni
$250 Brings an experienced facilitator to our Jams for a day
$500 Funds travel for a domestic Jam participant
$1000 Funds a scholarship for an outstanding young leader to attend a Jam
$2,000 Covers a travel and tuition scholarship for a World Jam participant
$5,000 Sponsors a Regional Jam for 30 young visionaries

You are also welcome to direct your donations to specific Jams, if there are particular regions or themes that are especially dear to your heart.  Just let us know, and the entirety of your donation will go to support that Jam.

We deeply appreciate multi-year and/or multi-month pledges, as they help us plan better and carry forward our work with clarity and stability.
