Yavapai College Foundation
Ensuring Excellence in Education at Yavapai College
Since 1972 the Yavapai College Foundation (YCF) has been committed to excellence in education and enhancing the opportunities of Yavapai College’s students, faculty and local communities. The far-reaching scope of the Foundation is evident through its diverse auxiliary organizations and projects.
Scholarships – Over 80 endowed funds benefit hundreds of students each year, with more than $1 million awarded to deserving undergraduates over the last decade.
FRIENDS of Yavapai College Art – Supports students and faculty in the college’s Visual Arts department, facilitates construction and management of the Sculpture Garden and supports the Art Gallery and community Art a La Carte Saturday art talk series.
FRIENDS of Yavapai College Music – Supports choral and instrumental music programs through fundraising for scholarships and departmental needs, and by raising awareness of concerts and music activities.
Roughrider Club – Assists athletes and teams by providing financial aid for travel to out-of-state events, scholarships, tournaments and special construction projects and equipment. They also support area youth through volunteer work and clinics.
Performing Arts Charitable Endowment (PACE) – Supports YC Community Events’ ability to maintain affordable ticket prices and offer high caliber entertainment and bring artistic programs to county students and special needs audiences.
Greater Verde Valley Chapter – Supports campus programs in Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Camp Verde and Sedona.
