Donation Wish List
The Yakima Valley Trolleys depend on volunteers and donations to keep the railroad running. Keep in mind that the Yakima Valley Trolleys are a 501(c)(3) organization and all contributions are fully tax-deductable.
Share Financially
Cash and Check
Cash donations are always welcome at the donation boxes in the powerhouse. Checks can be received in the donation boxes, at the gift shop, or by mail at:
YVT Treasurer
P.O. Box 796
Yakima, WA 98907
100% of cash and check donations go directly to the maintenance and operation of Yakima's trolleys.
Credit Card
Donations can also be made online using a credit card. We accept credit card donations directly online, or via the Donate button on our Facebook page.
Employer Matches
Many employers will match employee donations to charitable causes. Please consider whether your employer has such a program in place. For employees of companies that use Benevity to manage their matching programs, you'll find us here.
Major Gifts
Businesses and foundations might also consider supporting the trolleys at a higher level. Please contact us directly for more information.
