Contact UsInvesting in Our Community
The Yavapai College Foundation was established in 1971 to champion student success and strengthen Yavapai County through philanthropy. We connect generous donors with opportunities to transform lives, expand educational access, and support innovative programs across our six Yavapai College locations.
For more than 50 years, our mission has remained the same: to remove barriers, create opportunities, and build a stronger future for our community — one student at a time.
All In for Student Success
At Yavapai College Foundation, We Are All In — committed to student success, community impact, and educational opportunity for every learner.
Your support opens doors for students of every age and background, helping them learn, grow, and build brighter futures right here in Yavapai County.
More than 80% of Yavapai College graduates stay in our region, becoming the nurses who care for our families, the entrepreneurs who drive innovation, the first responders who keep us safe, and the leaders who build our shared future.
Unlocking Opportunity. Changing Lives.
No student should have to give up on their dreams because of financial obstacles or life challenges. The Foundation provides:
- Scholarships that ease financial strain
- Emergency assistance for unexpected hardships
- Basic needs support so students can stay focused on their education
- Program funding that enhances academic quality and student success
Every gift helps a student take the next step — whether it’s enrolling in college for the first time, completing a degree to advance a career, or gaining the skills needed to start a new business.

Beyond direct student support, the Foundation invests in programs that fuel Yavapai County’s economic development and strengthen our workforce.
These programs equip students with career-ready skills and provide local industries with the strong workforce they need to thrive. When our students succeed, our entire region grows stronger.
Behind every scholarship is a story of potential: a first-generation student discovering confidence; a veteran preparing for a new career; a single parent finishing a degree; a young innovator finding the spark to launch a business.
These journeys are possible because of people like you — people who believe in what education makes possible.
