Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to engage the community and build resources to support success for all students. 

Through world class fundraising and community engagement, our vision is for every student to receive a high-quality, inclusive education.

Our Strategic Plan

Throughout 2024-2029, our strategic plan includes supporting empowerment, promoting equitable outcomes, and challenging ourselves to embrace a bold vision for world-class fundraising. These goals are the three pillars of our commitment to helping students.

  • Goal 1:

    100% of all unmet student needs are identified and equitably met.

  • Goal 2:

    Everyone in the community is knowledgeable about, engaged with, and advocates for the college and the foundation.

  • Goal 3:

    Emerging student and college needs are met through world-class fundraising.

Our History

The SPSCC Foundation was offically incorporated in 1982 to build community relationships and create long-term support for students and the college through an endowment. These early efforts, led by SPSCC's president and Foundation staff and board, sparked a legacy of generosity that continues today.

Since then, we've partnered with many generous individuals, businesses, and organizations that believe in education's power to transform lives. Our story is deeply connected to the growth and evolution of South Puget Sound Community College. Learn more about the college's history.
