A Day of Silicon Valley Giving: May 6

Your Donation is Doubled at Designated Times

Mark Tuesday, May 6, on your calendar! On that day, the region will come together for a day of giving through Silicon Valley Gives, sponsored by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.  

Two De Anza College programs are included:
Institute for Community and Civic Engagement (ICCE) and the Fujitsu Planetarium.

Every dollar always helps, but at designated times on May 6 (see below), area foundations are matching each donation. Please consider making a contribution of any size to one or both participating De Anza programs.
