The Broome Community College Foundation, Inc. is a self-supporting not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation established in 1965 by BCC Trustees and community leaders to raise, invest, and administer private funds to benefit SUNY Broome, its students, and faculty. The Foundation’s top priority is to assist students with grants-in-aid and scholarships, but its charter also calls for assisting faculty and staff by helping fund their professional development and training, and providing the College with equipment, seed money for special projects, and other items for which public funds are either insufficient or unavailable. The Foundation also helps to support special capital projects to improve campus facilities. The Foundation serves as a conduit for all private gifts to the College. Gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
In addition to annual gifts contributed by alumni, faculty, staff, students, business and industry, community friends, organizations and foundations, the Foundation has endowment and trust funds of approximately $33 million which help support its programs and activities.
