Foundation
The Clinton Community College Foundation, Inc. is a separate, yet affiliated organization that raises private funds annually and awards those funds to CCC students through various scholarships and financial assistance programs.
The Foundation was organized in 1971 as a not-for-profit corporation, organized under the laws of New York State and granted tax-exempt status by the IRS. Governed by an independent Board of Directors, the Foundation's day-to-day operations are managed by the Office of Institutional Advancement.
The Foundation Board of Directors is comprised of community and college leaders committed to the common belief that higher education ought to be within reach of all who desire to learn, excel, and succeed. From its humble beginnings, the Foundation has grown into a financially sound and integral part of the college community.
