A Passion for Learning: Your legacy for Palm Beach County
When you give to the Palm Beach State 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 State College need a foundation? The College is tax-assisted, not tax supported. Funding from the state has declined from 71 percent of the College's annual budget to about 46 percent.
We seek private support to both maintain and grow the depth and breadth of education the College provides its students. The role of the Foundation is to develop relationships with 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 linking contributions with the College's most pressing needs. Your tax-deductible contribution can provide:
- Scholarships for students
- Funding for new academic programs
- Capital improvements for new and ongoing programs
- Enhancement for the quality of education and student life at Palm Beach State College
To continue our mission we need your support. The Palm Beach State College Foundation can help with your commitment to the College. Explore our Web site to learn more about the Foundation, then call so we can discuss your contribution.
