Ways to Give

Corps members in service

City Year was founded with a vision of active corporate citizenship and was launched entirely by private sector funds. Today, more than half of the financial support for City Year’s mission of community service comes from individuals, corporations, and foundations.

The service that City Year corps members provide for off-track students in schools is impossible without the generous support of individual donations and corporate sponsorships.  

See how you can be a vital part of fighting the national dropout crisis by supporting City Year.

 

Charity Navigator

Charity Navigator is America’s premier charity evaluator. Since 2003, City Year has earned Charity Navigator’s highest rating, certifying our commitment to accountability, transparency and responsible fiscal management. Only 1% of charities have received this distinction for eight consecutive years, placing City Year among the most trustworthy charities in America. 

S&I 100 logo

The Social Impact 100 (S&I 100) is the first-ever broad index of U.S. nonprofits that have evidence of results and the potential to grow. City Year is humbled to be included in the inaugural list of America’s top-performing nonprofit organizations.
