AVC's Giving Tuesday Campaign Results

The Foundation is excited to share the success of our seventh annual Giving Tuesday campaign at Antelope Valley College. The campaign, a month-long fundraising initiative from November 1-30, aimed at providing crucial support to our students by directing donations to the Basic Needs Fund. Though funds raised were not as high as previous years, the unwavering support of our donors during these difficult economic times is remarkable. The overwhelming response from our alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends has been truly inspiring, demonstrating the strength and compassion of our community. The funds raised will make a significant impact by ensuring that our students have access to essential resources, support, and nourishment.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to all who contributed and our sponsor AES for their incredible support in matching donations and doubling the impact, making this campaign another incredible success and empowering our students to thrive.

Payroll Deductions

AVC employees are encouraged to donate to a cause of their choice through a reoccurring payroll deduction or one-time donation. For this year's Giving Tuesday campaign, payroll deductions increased by 15% - a percentage that signifies the generosity of our AVC employees. We are incredibly grateful to all of our new payroll donors and first-time Giving Tuesday donors for your investment in our students and programs. Thank you for ensuring our legacy will continue to thrive - and thank you for being part of the AVC community.

Impact 

We are proud of the Basic Needs Fund's impact on our students so far. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to provide hundreds of meals and essential resources to those in need. Here are a few testimonials from students who have benefited from these programs:

"Thanks to the Food Pantry, I can focus on my studies without worrying about where my next meal will come from. It has been a true lifesaver for me during tough times."

"The Basic Needs Department has helped me in more ways than I can express. It's not just about the food; having access to hygiene items and laundry cards has made such a difference. Thank you for caring about student well-being."
