GROW A FUTURE
At campuses across the district, PCC students are thriving! With the right tools, learning environment and mentoring, our future leaders and professionals are growing right here at PCC.
PCC students come in many varieties that will eventually blossom into the professionals and citizens that keep our communities running. There is no better way to grow a future – for students and our region – than to give to the PCC Foundation.
The 2009 Faculty, Staff & Retiree Campaign generated more then $220,000 and 785 gifts overall, a 12.5% increase in gifts compared to FY08. Last year, we met our goal of reaching out to 200 new donors. Employee participation rose from 35.4% (FY08) to 41% participation during 2009. Gifts from the College community helped the Foundation to:
- Award more than 350 scholarships, for a total of $474,000.
- Distribute $500,000 to enhance PCC’s academic, workforce development, student services, and cultural programs.
Another chance at a matching gift
The PCC Foundation is excited to announce that the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation is offering a second year of the matching challenge to community colleges in Oregon, including the PCC Foundation.
The Miller Challenge made such an impact on giving that the Foundation was able to award more then 350 scholarships, at a total amount of $474,000.

Nhi Vu,
Future Mover and Shaker
Without her scholarship from the PCC Foundation, Nhi Vu would not have the time to do the work she loves while building her leadership skills and going to school. “Every single student has a problem with finances,” said Nhi. “If people can contribute a little bit of their income, it helps students make a better life for themselves.”
Ryan Habgood,
Future Shipbuilder
For Ryan, a scholarship means the opportunity to pursue welding and someday build ships, the career he chose after discovering he couldn’t find a job with the bachelor’s degree he already had. “It helps a lot,” said Ryan of the PCC Foundation’s support.
