Friends of the IYB Mission
Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau (FIYB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Ithaca Youth Bureau (IYB) in fulfilling its mission. In light of increasing youth needs and decreasing government budgets, the FIYB helps the IYB to provide recreation and youth development programs to promote the health, happiness, and well-being of all youth and families in the greater Ithaca area.
When the IYB celebrated its 75th Anniversary, participants were asked what one word describes their IYB experiences!
Friends of the IYB Seeks Your Support!
This year we are sharing a list of examples of what your gift can do! You can choose to designate a specific program need, or you can provide more general support of the Ithaca Youth Bureau’s mission.
Your financial support of the Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau in this moment will allow critical programs to operate, provide additional resources and supports for young people and families who need it most, and help to ensure that we can safely and effectively offer opportunities and implement alternative means.
*When generous community members wanted to help restart IYB programs, FIYB received $110,000 from a foundation and through the United Way.
*$2500 of FIYB funds were allocated so IYB staff could assist client families who were particularly impacted adversely with small grants to families in need.
The federal 2020 CARES Act expanded tax deductibility of gifts to nonprofits like the Friends of the IYB.
