The Bergen Community College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The foundation is independent of Bergen Community College, and governed by a community-based board of directors that works closely with the president and trustees of the college to set goals and objectives.
As the college’s primary fundraising institution, we build partnerships between Bergen and the community to help advance the priorities of the college’s strategic plan to create transformative student learning experiences and to build on its greatest strengths and its areas of greatest potential impact.
With today’s public funding limitations, only a combination of good management and philanthropy will allow the best public colleges to succeed.
We need you – Bergen’s partners, faculty and alumni – to invest in the future of the college and to maintain the excellence that this community requires. Our success has never been so important.
Mission
The Bergen Community College Foundation raises funds to support student scholarships, strategic program needs, and special projects that supplement public funds at Bergen Community College.
Vision
Working with the leadership of Bergen Community College, the Foundation will engage the Bergen community – including program partners, regional stakeholders, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends – building relationships and a culture of philanthropy to strengthen the impact of the college on the local community and its economy.
