The Housatonic Community College Foundation, Inc.
The Housatonic Community College Foundation is a unique and vital resource that works to support the mission of Housatonic Community College. The Foundation was established in 1990 when a small but dedicated group of citizens from the region joined together to raise funds to assist local students. Today, the Foundation works in partnership with the College to bring a broad range of scholarships and grants to men and women from the Greater Bridgeport area who have the desire to learn and the determination to build a better life.
Housatonic Community College continues to thrive in its role as a dynamic and supportive academic institution. As the College has grown, so has the Foundation. We strive to develop new sources of funding in an effort to meet the growing financial challenges presented by a thriving community college dedicated to educational access and success. Our fundraising efforts support scholarships, tuition assistance, tutoring, childcare and textbooks for students. We also provide supplemental support to the College to meet needs not covered by state funding, including staff development and necessary educational resources.
As enrollment continues to rise at an unprecedented rate, the Foundation will work to meet the increasing financial needs of our student population as well as those of the College. See how you can help us to Support Dreams and Build Futures by visiting our Ways to Give section.
Through fund-raising efforts, the Foundation has awarded over $441,000 in scholarships and other assistance to Housatonic students, since its founding. It continues to seek ways to assist the College and to identify sources of additional funds. The Foundation is approved by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization. Contributions can be sent to:
