Giving Tuesday


The AVC Foundation is thrilled to launch our seventh annual Giving Tuesday campaign, a month-long fundraising initiative from November 1-30 aimed at providing crucial support to our students. This year, donors can direct their donations towards the Basic Needs Fund, which will help ensure that our students have access to essential support like housing, transportation services, clothing, hygiene products, laundry cards, and other resources they need to thrive in their college journey.

Donation Options

 There are multiple ways you can donate to support this cause: 

  • PayPal Donation (Click the Donate button below.)

Help Us Reach Our Giving Goal of $25K!

Donation total as of November 18: $2,880

Last year's campaign reached impressive heights through the incredible support of our donors, raising an astounding $20,682.82. With your help and unwavering support, we can reach new heights this year with a new goal of $25,000.

All proceeds will benefit the AVC Basic Needs Center. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of our donors and our sponsor AES for its incredible support in matching donations and doubling the impact of this campaign. Any donation big or small can make all the difference!

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."
