Donation Information

Yakima Basin Environmental Education Program (YBEEP) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit registered with the Washington State Charities Program (1-800-332-4483).  Registration # 29246.  All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

History & Need:
YBEEP activities were funded by the Bonneville Power Administration from 1991 through the 2007-08 school year.
Since then program activities have been supported by contracts & donations from public & private organizations & individuals.  501(c)3 status was received for the program in June, 2010.  As state & federal budget cuts increase, YBEEP is increasingly dependent upon individual & corporate donations to educate students & the public about environmental issues.

• Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated!!  Donations can be designated for activities for a specific classroom. Please let us know the school, teacher & activity.

• $1,000 covers (on average; less for local, more for distant schools) time for egg delivery, equipment troubleshooting visits, 2 salmon related 1 hour classroom or field presentations; as well as scheduling & travel for all listed activities, for one salmon in the classroom tank.  YBEEP currently supports 100 tanks.
