The Baltimore City Community College Foundation advances the College’s mission by providing scholarships and other forms of financial support that enable BCCC students to fulfill their higher education career goals. The Foundation also supports philanthropic giving to the College in its role as an economic engine in Baltimore and as a vital part of the community. Every gift advances BCCC’s mission to change lives and build communities. 

Students, their families, and the Baltimore corporate community depend on us to create an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and professional excellence. Thanks to your philanthropic goodwill, you help make it possible.

As Baltimore City’s only community college, we rely on public funds to meet the most basic needs of our students. We count on private contributions to improve the delivery of relevant educational programming and provide additional financial support to students, an expense which is outside the college’s budget.

Baltimore City Community College Foundation donors can designate funds to areas of greatest interest to them. Unrestricted gifts allow the Foundation to direct funds to the highest priority needs of the College.
