 A Passion for Learning:
Your legacy for Palm Beach County
When you give to the Palm Beach Community College Foundation, your gift extends far beyond the dollar amount you give; it builds momentum and grows exponentially.
- A single scholarship can change an entire family's future.
- Gifts can expand with matching funds from government and other grant organizations.
- An endowment can create a new classroom, support faculty, launch a new program or even break ground on a new educational building.
Our Mission
Why does Palm Beach Community College need a foundation? PBCC is tax-assisted, not tax supported. Funding from the state has declined from 71 percent of the College's annual budget in 1999-2000 to about 58 percent in 2007-2008.
We seek out private support to both maintain and grow the depth and breadth of education PBCC provides its students. The role of the Foundation is to seek out community partners--individuals and businesses--who understand the value and contributions a college of this scope and purpose provides. We then utilize those gifts by matching contributions with the College's most pressing needs. Your tax-deductible contribution can:
- Provide scholarships for students
- Provide funding for new academic programs
- Capital improvements for new and ongoing programs
- Enhance the quality of education and student life at PBCC
To continue our mission we need your support. The Palm Beach Community College Foundation can help with your commitment to PBCC. Explore our Web site to learn more about the Foundation, then call so we can discuss your contribution.
