Mission: To actively and visibly support the mission of Big Bend Community College.
The Big Bend Community College Foundation is the fundraising arm of BBCC-the only institution of higher education in a 4,600-square-mile service district. The Foundation is a nonprofit corporation 501(c)3 existing since 1972. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors.
Limits on state funding and growing enrollment threaten the quality of education offered by comprehensive community colleges like BBCC. To ensure growth and quality, private financial investment in the college through the BBCC Foundation is essential. The Foundation raises funds for scholarships, facilities, equipment and staff development.
