Ways to give

When you make a gift to the PCC Foundation, the value of your dollar extends far beyond one person or one opportunity. PCC strengthens Oregon’s economy by contributing $1.2 billion a year in added income as a result of job skills obtained at PCC. Your investment supports the future of our entire region, bringing the power of higher education within reach for thousands of people.

The PCC Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our EIN is 93-0811291.

Gifts may come in many forms, the simplest way is a gift of cash. While some cash gifts may be large, many are $100 or less. All are thoughtfully given to the Foundation to ensure quality education and accessibility in the future. Have questions? You can reach us at 971-722-4382 or at pccfoundation@pcc.edu.
