Living by our Values
In fulfilling our mission, YES partners with and gratefully relies upon a diverse community of supporters including foundations, corporations, and businesses. Dedicated to “walking our talk,” YES utilizes a gift acceptance policy, a staff- and board-generated set of Funding Values Guidelines, and engages in thoughtful, nuanced reflection to ensure that our funding practices and partnerships are consistent with our core values.
