A Gathering Place for Students, Educators and Industry Leaders
The Southwest Wine Center serves as a gathering place for students, educators and industry leaders looking to spark innovation, fuel economic development, support regional and national collaboration and provide a catalyst for research. Gifts will support annual academic and programmatic priorities that will provide the margin of excellence for our students and the community.

Founder’s Wall Campaign
Visionary Giving Set in Copper & Stone
The Founders Wall provides permanent recognition for those who share the vision of building a vibrant wine-producing region rooted in the area’s rich farming heritage.
Names engraved on the wall honor individuals, families, foundations, and corporations whose gifts of $5,000 or more have helped make the Southwest Wine Center a reality.
These contributions represent many forms of philanthropy—from support for students, faculty, programs, and research to funding capital projects and priorities of college leadership.
Purposefully positioned beside the teaching winery, the Founders Wall welcomes visitors and stands as a lasting tribute to the founding donors whose generosity helped establish the Southwest Wine Center at Yavapai College.
