The Seattle Community Colleges are leaders among community and technical colleges and comprise the largest and most diverse community college district in the state, educating almost 52,000 students each year. The district includes three colleges, a vocational training institute and four specialized training sites.

In 2006, the Foundation for Seattle Community Colleges was formed to embark on a $25 million Power & Promise campaign to build private philanthropic support for our students and faculty to help us meet the challenges of changing economic demands.

Through collaboration of the college presidents, the foundations at each of the three colleges, and the district's foundation, the campaign has raised over $32 million.

The Foundation continues to pursue strategic opportunities to fund new initiatives and to increase support of students and faculty in the attainment of their educational and professional goals.

The campaign has developed a great sense of pride among our constituencies, including alumni and friends, generating momentum for continued support for the Seattle Community Colleges.
