Foundation Ensures Excellence in Education for All
Established in 2001, Copper Mountain College Foundation is designated to receive gifts for the college from individuals, corporations and foundations. Just as it is with other educational
institutions, our college needs charitable gifts to endow scholarships and support educational programs and capital improvements that can
mean the difference be
tween ordinary and extraordinary programs and services for student success. The Foundation’s mission, to maximize educational opportunities in the Morongo Basin by supporting the programs, facilities and
activities of the Copper Mountain Community College District includes administering the F. Scholarship and the Alumni
Association as well as fundraising for current students’ programs. The Copper Mountain College Foundation, formerly Friends of
Copper Mountain College, is a 501c3 non-profit auxiliary organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and overseen by the
college’s Board of Trustees. Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. Annual Foundation events include the Golf Tournament,
Alumni BBQ, Fall Gala and Holiday Wreath Auction. It is vital that we maintain our high standard of excellence in education. California's community colleges educate 73 percent of the state's citizens, yet they receive only 11 percent of the per student state dollars for education. Clearly, your generosity has never been more important. With the help of our contributors and our continued success, Copper Mountain College will remain a pillar in the community, educating everyone interested in learning, and supporting programs that enhance the education process.
