Send Us a Check

If it's easier, you can just write a check to Young Performers International and send it to YPI, PO Box 486 Belvedere CA 94920. Please be sure to include your address, so we can properly thank you! And, since Young Performers International is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, 100 percent of your contribution is tax-deductible!

Volunteer

Some people find it easier to give time than money, and Young Performers International is always happy to welcome new volunteers. We have an intern program for YPI grads and other young adults. For parents and other interested community members, we have an endless supply of small to big jobs! Please send us email at leelapratt@gmail.com to let us know you're interested, and we'll follow up with you right away.

Contribute As You Shop

Chances are good that you already shop online. If you shop through the mall at iGive.com, YPI can receive a donation for a portion of the order, and you can receive a tax deduction for the donation. Most importantly, it costs you nothing—and you can even receive discounts by shopping through iGive.com.

iGive.com has a shopping mall with more than 448 top merchants who offer spectacular prices and exclusive member deals on everything from music to pet supplies. Here are just a few iGive.com stores that may interest you: Amazon.com, JCPenney.com, EddieBauer.com, CDNow.com, Barnes&Noble.com, Gap.com, LandsEnd.com, and Walmart.com.

iGive also has a referral program. If you refer a friend and they make a purchase, Young Performers International gets $1. And if they refer a friend who buys something, YPI will get another $1, and on and on through six degrees of referrals!

Contribute to the Albie Pratt Fund

The Albie Pratt Fund was created with a $10,000 gift from an anonymous donor to honor a man whose life was characterized by a deep love of music and a great generosity of spirit, and who was dedicated to helping young people succeed. The Fund's purpose is to provide talented, under-served children with the means to lift themselves out of poverty and ignorance through the documented benefits that the study of music can bring.

Our goal is to make this fund a permanent endowment. If music has touched your life, please consider contributing to the Albie Pratt fund. All contributions are tax deductible, and gifts of stock are welcome. Help us make Albie’s legacy of music and generosity live on for generations to come.
