Give a child
a season of cricket
CYCC is run entirely by volunteer parents. Every dollar goes into equipment, uniforms, coaching and grounds — and into making sure cost is never the reason a child in Greater Cincinnati cannot play.
Cincinnati Youth Cricket Club is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 42-5046014). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Straight into the club
Nobody at CYCC takes a salary. There is no office and no overhead beyond what it costs to put children on a cricket field safely.
Safety equipment
Helmets, pads, gloves and guards, including club kit for players who are just starting.
Uniforms
A full CYCC playing kit for every registered player, in club colours.
Coaching
Qualified, background-screened coaches across all four age groups.
Player assistance
Quiet support for families where the membership fee would otherwise be the barrier.
More ways to help
Not only
cash gifts
Some of the most useful support CYCC has received never went through a payment form.
Employer matching
Many Cincinnati employers match employee charitable gifts, often dollar for dollar. Ask your HR team and give them our legal name and EIN — it can double your donation at no extra cost to you.
Give monthly
A small recurring gift is the most useful kind for a young club, because it lets us plan a season rather than react to one.
In-kind equipment
Outgrown bats, pads, helmets and shoes in good condition go straight to players who need them. So do nets, cones, matting and scoring equipment.
Business sponsorship
Sponsorship puts your business in front of club families all season and funds a specific part of the program.
Sponsorship levelsYour time
A parent who scores matches or runs a drill station is worth more to this club than most cheques. We will find a role that fits the hours you have.

Donor information
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Cincinnati Youth Cricket Club is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 42-5046014). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Please keep your receipt, and consult your tax advisor about your own circumstances.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. You receive an emailed acknowledgment for every gift, and a written acknowledgment for any single contribution of $250 or more, as required by the IRS.
What is the difference between donating and sponsoring?
A donation is a gift with nothing returned to you. Sponsorship includes benefits such as logo placement, so it is treated differently for tax purposes and only the portion above the value of those benefits may be deductible. We disclose that value in writing on sponsorship agreements. Your tax advisor can tell you how it applies to your business.
Can I choose what my gift funds?
Tell us when you give. We will honour any reasonable restriction — player assistance and equipment are the two most common — and tell you exactly how it was used.
How do I see where the money went?
We publish an annual summary for club families, and our IRS filings are public. Ask us anything at info@cincinnatiyouthcricket.com.
