All donations made through the West Valley-Mission Foundation are tax deductible.

Funds raised in this way go toward the ARCH Club's Annual Industry Forum as well as supplies, and club events. The ARCH Club’s Annual Industry Forum is entirely student led from planning to marketing, programming and production. Students display their work and designs for the upcoming Design Village competition before industry professionals for critique and direction. There is also a small panel discussion, refreshments and entertainment.

Gifts made directly to the Architecture Club are not eligible for tax deduction as funds are directly handled by the West Valley Mission Community College District.

As a thank you, the ARCH Club would like to invite you to one of their monthly meetings to meet the club members and extend 4 tickets to the Industry Forum.
