How to Donate to YSF
$10,000 Matching Gift to the Performing Arts Endowment!
The Yakima Schools Foundation has been given a unique opportunity.
A family who continues to be one of our very passionate donors,
and who is very involved in the Arts, has offered a $10,000
Match. Which means we will double the contribution with each
dollar we raise! The goal is to bring the total in the Performing
Arts Endowment to over $50,000 which would increase the dividends
and allow us to fund more programs in our schools.
Over the last few years Yakima Schools Foundation, with the
help of our many donors has been able to build our endowment
funds. We have been able to fund many new and exciting programs
and opportunities for our students. Our goal with all our
endowments is to only use dividends to support requests from
our educators.
May we ask you to donate to help us reach our target of $10,000?
Thank you for considering our request. I am available to
answer any questions you may have.
