Expenses: In recent years, the Youth Communication budget has been around $1 million a year. Nearly $700,000 of that is salaries and benefits for a dozen staff and consultants, which reflects the labor-intensive nature of the training we provide. Another $300,000 covers rent, printing, delivery of our publications, insurance, supplies and miscellaneous expenses.

Income: Our income comes largely from foundations and corporations (over 75%), government grants and individual contributions. We also have earned income of about $100,000 from subscriptions, royalties, advertising, book sales, and consulting. And we get in-kind support from The New York Times (printing), and groups like Gifts in Kind and Tech Soup (technology).

Contributions are welcome from individuals and from foundations and corporations. Youth Communication is a 501-c-3 nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
