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.

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.

Our Impact

We continue to help break down barriers and address unmet needs of students through our commitment to student success. Learn more about our impact on students and the community by exploring our recent annual reports.

Making the Sound Together

The South Puget Sound Community College Foundation plays a key role in creating opportunities for students by providing financial support through scholarships, grants, and program funds. All of this is made possible by our generous community of supporters. Our mission is simple: to make SPSCC a thriving community where students are empowered to achieve their goals, graduate, and contribute to the local workforce.
