Holiday Gift Giving

The holidays are approaching and with them the end of calendar year 2009. As you consider your holiday giving, please think about a tax-deductible gift to the Yakima Schools Foundation.

The generous gifts and participation we have received over the past few years have enabled us to fund many programs, materials, and supplies that promote student learning. We fund leadership opportunities, music training, the arts, sports, field trips and participation in activities for our at-risk students. Thanks to you, we have been able to provide opportunities for today’s students and build our endowments for the future.

Please continue to invest in the education of our youth
