A project of Youth
Empowerment Center
Description:
Anti-capitalist
radical youth group
based in Portland, Oregon. Ironic anti-corporate
rhetoric and activism by youth with no work experience; only the
leaders know STARC is funded by foundation grants from the profits
of huge corporations including IBM, Uniroyal Technology, Texas
Instruments and Ford Motor Credit Corporation (securities in the
portfolio of
Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, a $55,000 STARC donor).
STARC has agreed to the fiscal
sponsorship of The
Youth Empowerment Center
As fiscal agent for STARC, The
YEC lends its tax-exempt status as a non-profit organization so that
STARC can raise funds to develop and implement their program
activities. The following rights and obligations are part of agreed
guidelines in this partnership:
1. STARC legally becomes a part
of The YEC. Operational control remains with STARC but fiscal
management and oversight is done by The YEC.
2. As a legal part of The YEC,
STARC may receive donations and grants from individuals and
organizations. In all cases, proposals, fundraising plans, planned
solicitations must be approved in advance by the Business Manager of
The YEC.
3. As STARC's fiscal agent, The
YEC will directly receive all funds raised by STARC. All funds will
be placed in a restricted account within the larger general YEC
budget. All checks received by STARC are to be made payable to The
Youth Empowerment Center with STARC listed on the memo line of the
check.
4. As fiscal agent, The YEC
will release money held for STARC upon presentation of receipts or
invoices authorized by the appropriate individual of STARC. No money
will be supplied to STARC unless it has sufficient funds in its
account to cover its funding request.
Amy Little is business
manager for Youth Empowerment Center.
