Foundation of Fulton-Montgomery Community College, Inc

The mission of the Foundation of Fulton-Montgomery Community College, Inc. is to enhance Fulton-Montgomery Community College through positive regional community relations, and to develop private funds to advance educational opportunities for students, staff and the community.  By generating, processing and allocating gifts, the Foundation supports efforts that enhance the quality of programs by funding scholarships, new academic initiatives, technology, endowments, faculty/staff development, athletic programs, and capital projects.

The Foundation is overseen by a Board of Directors whose membership is comprised of community leaders from both Fulton and Montgomery Counties including a faculty member, a Student Government Association representative, and representative from the College Board of Trustees.  The Foundation acts as the sole recipient of gifts for the College.  The Corporation was founded in 1976 and has been granted 501(3)C, not-for-profit status by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Foundation is the administrator of all funds, gifts and endowments that support annual Scholarships and Awards, The Perrella Gallery, and The Evans Library of Fulton-Montgomery Community College.  Additionally, the Foundation collects and administers funds restricted for the enhancement of the Kenneth R. Dorn Regional History Collection, the William G. Barto Memorial Lecture Series, and funds raised to support intercollegiate athletic programs through banner sales for the "Athletic Sponsors' Wall of Honor".

Annual fundraising events of the Foundation include the signature events, "Keeping Futures on Course" Golf Tournament and Holiday Concert.  The annual campaign fundraising and special gifts raise funds for general support of the foundation.  The Foundation is building for the future by working with donors to establish planned gifts and legacies to support the College.

The capital campaign: The Campaign for FMCC Rebuilding a College... Reshaping Our Futures raised $2.5 million dollars in donations and State matching funds for renovations and additions to the College facilities.

The Alumni Association is a division of the Foundation of FMCC.  College Alumni play an important role for the College in many ways. Alumni offer new and innovative ideas and can serve as an avenue of communication for students and the community. Many alumni serve their alma mater by becoming volunteers as student mentors, student recruiters or as college supporters in their community to give something in return to the College that helped shape their lives.
