How Individuals Help

Monumental transformations have modest beginnings - they begin in classrooms and school labs across the country and around the world. But they first begin with you - right here, right now.

Every donation you make has a direct impact on students by helping to provide curriculum materials in core subject areas, AVID libraries to schools, teacher training, and tutor training. There are a number of ways you can make a difference:

• Monetary Gifts: Your donation, no matter what amount, helps fund the necessities for an AVID education. Donations of this kind are used to immediately impact students in classrooms.
  
  
• Planned Giving: Gift planning today can create dreams for tomorrow. AVID can be included in future planning through donations in wills and trusts. Call 858-380-4776 to see how AVID and education can become part of your legacy.
  
  
• Annual Gifts: The building of a strong academic foundation is necessary for success in college. Make AVID part of your annual gift giving and help new AVID students realize their college dreams year after year.
  
  
• Matching Gifts: Does your company have a matching gift program? A simple inquiry can double or triple the impact of your support!
  
  
• Volunteer: Donate your time and visit an AVID classroom. Share your college going story and how it relates to your career. Your knowledge and experiences are priceless gifts that will benefit students throughout their lives.
