Cambridge Community College Foundation
The Cambridge Community College Foundation was organized
in November of 1988 to promote an awareness and understanding
of the college and to encourage, accept and administer gifts
and grants that provide financial support for students and
projects which would not be possible through regular college
funding.
The Foundation's main goal is to make college affordable
and accessible through scholarships to area residents who want to pursue post-secondary
education. The Foundation is a tool for realizing the best
in human potential and enabling people to enjoy helping
other people. The legal Charter and by-laws create the formal
entity of the Foundation, but the most important facet of
the Foundation is its human element.
The Foundation gets volunteers involved and fosters a sense
of identity with the college. The Foundation believes "friend"
raising is as important as "fund" raising. Community-minded
citizens who recognize the value of the educational programs
at the college have helped support the educational needs
of East Central Minnesota through the support of the college.
Community participation should - and does - come from everyone,
not only those in top positions of business, finance and
management. The community has an obligation to invest in
the future of East Central Minnesota and to share the benefits
of post-secondary education among area citizens.
