an Opportunity for the Yuba -Sutter community

Strenghtening Communities

Yuba College is launching the largest fundraising campaign in its history to attract more students from our region to complete degrees and/or certificates as the basis for improving the local workforce and economic outlook for the region. The campaign has a basic goal of $1.6 million, a desired goal of $2.6 million, and the aspirational goal of $3.6 million to improve the campus’ athletic facilities, as well as strengthen the Student Emergency Fund, and increase Scholarship for local students. We are currently investing more than $13 million to modernize our academic and student support facilities.  We must now invest in improving the athletics and related programs that serve as a major enrollment and community support magnet for the College overall. Community members will be invited to make multi-year commitments and each of you are similarly invited to consider the same to help the college reach the goal. Payroll deductions are an easy avenue for employees to make a gift. Whether it is a multi-year pledge, a monthly payroll deduction, or a one-time gift, all gifts are important, and all are appreciated. Participation, as always, is fully voluntary
