Each year, approximately 30,000 students enroll in credit-bearing or continuing education courses. Since 1970, the College has granted degrees and certificates to over 40,000 graduates. Yes, our county and state taxes have made much of this possible but not all of it. In recent years, less than 25 percent of the College s annual operational budgets were state and county funded. The balance is raised through tuition and student fees, student aid, grants and private fundraising initiatives coordinated by the Bergen Community College Foundation. Our ability to sustain and enhance the scope of services provided to the residents of this community is dependent upon contributions from private sources. Through private fundraising efforts, the Foundation - which exists solely to enhance student support including tuition, scholarship and book allocation, faculty development and student programs seeks to bridge the gap between limited government funding and those resources critical to the College. Without private funding, the scope of services provided would be sharply reduced. Your Membership in the College Family You become a member of the Bergen family with a gift to the BCC Foundation, a 501 ( c ) 3 nonprofit organization. The Foundation accepts gifts in all amounts no gift is too small. Gifts may be designated for a specific use or they may be directed to the Foundation s unrestricted fund to be used wherever it is most needed within the College. A contribution to the Securing Our Future Endowed Scholarship Fund will ensure available scholarship dollars for deserving students for generations to come. With a gift of $10,000 or more, you can establish a named endowment in an area of importance to you, your family or your corporation. Whatever the purpose, a contribution to the Foundation is translated into a gift of education that will benefit the residents of this community forever more. Ways of Giving Although the easiest gift to give is cash, it is also possible to make a multi-year pledge, donate appreciated securities, insurance, or real estate. You may also opt to remember the Bergen Community College Foundation and a selected fund in your will, annuity or other forms of planned giving. The Foundation staff is available to assist you and your financial adviser in planning the details of such a gift. Please contact the Foundation at (201) or by at: [email protected] to discuss available options.
