IndyKids is sustained though individual donations and grants. Due to the economic crisis, some grants were not renewed this year. We really need your support! The IndyKids budget is small, so your donation makes a big difference in the life of IndyKids. Think about the impact you can make. Every $50 contribution pays to print 700 additional copies of the newspaper. That’s 700 more kids who you help to reach with a fuller understanding of the news and the world.

HOW TO DONATE

1. Donate online at: www.indykids. org

3. Donations of $50 or more are tax deductible if made out to the IndyKids fiscal sponsor, the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center. Write your check out to “UC-IMC” and send it to IndyKids at the address below.

MORE INFO:

We’re very excited and proud to say that IndyKids is turning five this year! Although we are only five, we realize that many of our friends are of drinking age, and so we will be offering a drink special all night ($3 domestic beers, $4 wells) and one free drink for those guests who can give a suggested donation $15.
