Through collective generosity, we turn possibility into action. Giving isn’t passive, it’s creative power. It’s choosing what matters and helping it grow.

Yucca Valley Material Lab (YVML) is a non-profit arts organization that champions a decentralized, inclusive, and affordable model for artmaking that is grounded in direct material exploration.

Whether you share our vision for alternative and adaptive models for arts education, or have a passion for hands-on making, experimental music, and free cultural events for our rural desert community, you are an integral part of this endeavor.

Please consider donating to our annual fund.

You can make a one-time gift or commit to a monthly donation. Every contribution directly supports scholarships and community initiatives, including artist residencies, our music program, and free public events.

Yucca Valley Material Lab is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

stocks and securities

Giving stocks, bonds, or other securities is a smart and generous way to support YVML. You can avoid paying capital gains taxes, receive a full charitable deduction, and often give more than if you sold the assets first and donated the cash.
