Canby
Kids, Inc. is an umbrella organization which houses
and assists 6 sports.
Each sport is run by their own board of directors.
Canby Kids functions like a Parks and Recreation Department but does not receive any public (tax based) funds. The Canby Kids Board is a hands-on board and matches the office work with volunteer duties such as Turf Maintenance, Fundraising, mediating facility use issues and other corporation duties. We have a one person office who works on a part time basis to manage the day to day administrative work.
Why do we need cash donations? The hub of our organization is our Canby Kids office and it takes cash to pay for office expenses and our one person part time staff. Before 2001, that expense was furnished by a City of Canby Grant; we no longer receive that grant money.
Why can't the sports absorb the cost? Currently the sports do pay a per player fee of $13 for each player enrolled in their respective sport. The true cost is closer to $20 per player and the board thought that expense was too much to ask of the sports. When costs go up, registrations go down.
What the Board has done:
-
Held fundraising events to reduce the financial burden for the players.
-
Reduced office services to save money on payroll.
-
Promoted our plight in hopes of receiving donations. (We are a 501(3)(C) Non Profit organization). List of donors over the years
If you would like to financially support our organization, we encourage you to write out a check and either come into our office or mail it to our Post Office Box. We will send you the required receipt for tax purposes.
