Giving Day

YVC Giving Day April 22, 2026 All day | Online Yakima Valley College will hold its inaugural Giving Day on April 22, a 24-hour fundraising campaign supporting students facing financial emergencies and enhancing the student experience. The event aims to raise more than $50,000, with the top priority of strengthening the YVC Foundation’s Student Emergency Fund. Thanks to matching gifts, donations made during Giving Day can double their impact, including a dollar-for-dollar match up to $14,000 for the Student Emergency Fund. Additional challenges will support STEM undergraduate research experiences, College and Career Readiness tuition grants, athletic programs, student clubs, and YVC’s Department of Visual Arts through a pottery and art sale. Community members are encouraged to give, celebrate and share why YVC matters to them by visiting the Giving Day campaign site on April 22.
