Blue Ridge Community College Educational

Foundation · Grantmaker WEYERS CAVE, VA EIN: 54-1328809 Website

THE BRCC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION BUILDS COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS AND SECURES RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES OF BLUE RIDGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THE COLLEGE'S IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY IS PROFOUND, PROVIDING THE PATHWAY TO SUCCESS FOR STUDENTS AND LOCAL EMPLOYERS. CURRENT STATE AND LOCAL APPROPRIATIONS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR ONLY THE BASIC OPERATIONS OF THE COLLEGE AND ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO KEEP PACE WITH THE CHALLENGES OF MEETING BRCC'S DIVERSE STUDENT NEEDS AND ADDRESSING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. TO MEET THE COMMUNITY'S INCREASING NEEDS FOR PROGRAMS, SERVICES, FACILITIES, AND SCHOLARSHIPS, PRIVATE FUNDS ARE NECESSARY. FUNDS RAISED BY THE BRCC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADEQUACY, AS PROVIDED BY TRADITIONAL SOURCES OF FUNDING, AND EXCELLENCE, THAT ONLY PRIVATE INVESTMENT CAN PROVIDE.
