WIND Youth Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations of items and cash can be claimed as charitable contributions with the IRS.
Tax ID# 55-0844444.
WIND is fortunate to receive funding from a variety of sources: individuals, community groups, businesses, foundations, grants and fund-raising events. It is only with the ongoing support we receive from these sources and our local Sacramento community that we are able to provide services to area homeless teens. At WIND, we look at each of our supporters as members of the WIND family.
Your monetary donations help us to maintain and expand our programs of service to a growing population of kids experiencing homelessness. Your donation, in any amount, will make a difference in a young person's life.
82% of all cash donations go directly to services for the youth, 12% covers administrative costs and 6% is spent on development of new programs and sites.
