Taking your Community College Employee Giving from Nothing to Something
Centennial Giving Challenge: How One College Sparked a Culture of Employee Philanthropy
When San Bernardino Valley College launched its Centennial Giving Challenge in fall 2025, the goal was simple: rally employees around the college’s 100th anniversary with a bold, time-bound giving campaign. The result? Record-breaking participation, strengthened cross-campus partnerships, and a renewed sense of pride in giving back.
Join SBVC Foundation staff as they share the strategies, tools, and lessons learned from this high-energy employee giving initiative—from crafting the campaign theme to leveraging friendly competition and campus champions. This interactive session will feature a dynamic PowerPoint presentation, candid discussion, and practical takeaways you can adapt to your own institution. Bring your questions and ideas for a lively Q&A!
