Giving to Antelope Valley College

---

Supporting Antelope Valley College is an easy and effective way to meet your philanthropic goals as well as your personal financial objectives. Tax savings are available through various giving opportunities, including gifts of cash, pledges, bequests and/or equipment.

Your private support can make a significant impact on the quality of education we can provide for our students.   Endowment funds are maintained in perpetuity; only a portion of the annual interest income is used for the purposes specified by the donor; the remainder is returned to principle. Such endowments, which typically bear the name of the donor or donors, reflect your interests and serve as an enduring testament to your generosity.

Recognition through naming opportunities for programs, buildings and endowments can memorialize loved ones, salute a mentor, or honor a family member.  The opportunity to purchase commemorative benches, located throughout both the Lancaster and Palmdale campus, provides a lifelong remembrance of your commitment to education.
