[Youth-list] New Resource from the Finance Project/Forum for Youth Investment

[yalie4567 at aol.com]

The Finance Project has announced the development of a new on-line, searchable youth clearinghouse, a joint project of The Finance Project and the Forum for Youth Investment, which contains information and resources that both organizations have developed as well as resources from other youth-focused organizations.  
 
The Finance Project has recently finished several new publications focused on financing and sustaining programs serving youth that are featured in the clearinghouse.  These publications build upon their previous work in this area and include information on finding funding, suggestions for applying financing strategies and strategies for partnership building. Please visit The Finance Project's website at http://www.financeproject.org/irc/yp.asp to access the series and to learn more about the project.
