Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation

Founded in 1978 as an independent  non-profit organization, the Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation is dedicated to serving the mission of ACCC by providing financial support to the college and its students. Foundation funds provide college scholarships to students with financial need, capital for campus improvements, and cultural and educational community outreach programs. In its history, the Foundation has raised well over $1 million for college scholarships, academic programs and enhancing the campus environment.

Comprised of prominent area business and civic leaders who volunteer their time and resources serving as the Foundation's Board of Trustees, the Foundation awarded more than $192,000 in scholarships. One of the goals of the Foundation Board is to establish contacts with and solicit contributions from major corporations, private foundations, local businesses, members of the community and ACCC graduates.
