Yuba College Foundation
History: The Yuba College Foundation was established
in 1972 to support programs, services and scholarships
that would help to improve student life at the campuses
and centers of the Yuba Community College District.
Throughout the subsequent decades, numerous gifts and
sound investing have built the corpus of foundation funds
to a level approaching $7 million dollars, making the Yuba
College foundation one of the larger community college
foundations in the State of California.
Donations
As a registered 501 (c)(3), Yuba College
Foundation, Inc., is able to assure that all gifts received
by the foundation are fully tax deductible. The foundation
has received direct support through gifts of cash, real
estate, equities and art throughout its 35 years of operation.
Additionally, planned gifts such as wills, charitable
remainder trusts, and insurance policies have benefited the
foundation’s programming capabilities. In-kind gifts, such as
laboratory equipment, usable automobiles, and classroom
supplies, if properly appraised, can also provide the donor
with a tax deduction. The Foundation office can be reached
at (530) 749-3868 to discuss options for giving.
Programs
The Yuba College Foundation has supported
literally hundreds of projects, programs, services and
scholarships throughout its thirty five years of operation.
In recent years, direct support from the foundation has
provided networking equipment for the Clear Lake Center,
laboratory support for the Administration of Justice Program
in Marysville, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct
student support through scholarships or book grants. On
the average, between 45-50 projects and scholarships per
semester receive support through donations to the Yuba
College Foundation.
