Project YANO's activities are only possible with the support of those who value its work. 80% of our funding comes from generous individuals and community groups.
Individuals
Donations from individuals can be made online via a credit card or with a check sent to our mailing address (P.O. Box 230157, Encinitas, CA 92023). Pledges can be made in the form of a recurring donation via our online donation system.
Group Sponsors
Sponsorships from partners are an important source of support. These can include a monthly pledge or annual contribution from a labor, civic, educator or religious organization. Fundraisers have also been organized in the past by student and youth groups.
Please contact us if your organization would like to become a sponsor. If desired, we can send a representative to speak about our work to organizations in San Diego County.

Comments on the Militarizing of Youth
"When September 11 changed the political climate, legislators cited the earlier (exaggerated) recruiter claims and successfully amended the pending No Child Left Behind Act with a provision that would deny federal funds to a secondary school if it did not give military recruiters student contact lists and the same campus access that is given to college and civilian employer representatives.
