Foundation

The Richland Community College Foundation was created in February 1980 by the Richland Board of Trustees who realized that private monies could do what public funds could not. They saw a need to seek and invest gifts that were designated for scholarships and other needs the College might have as it grew into a larger institution.

In 1986, the Foundation became a leader in the state when board members and volunteers raised an initial $2 million through charitable gifts. Today, the Foundation manages over $8,000,000 in assets.

The Foundation supports the College in these ways:

Your gift to the RCC Foundation, when joined with the gifts of others, becomes the vehicle to provide much-needed services over and above those afforded by the College's budget.

Support Richland!

You can make a difference! Through your contributions and grants the Foundation can enhance Richland Community College by funding special projects, building improvements and providing endowments.
