The mission of the South Seattle Community College Foundation is to encourage, promote and provide financial support for educational, scholarly and community programs on behalf of South Seattle Community College.

Description:
The purpose of the South Seattle Community College Foundation is to help the college achieve its mission by attracting additional resources for its programs, including financial support and volunteer engagement. The Foundation coordinates all charitable fundraising on behalf of South Seattle Community College. The Foundation also works to cultivate positive relationships with community and industry leaders and helps the college develop new program initiatives.

History:
The South Seattle Community College Foundation is comprised of business and community leaders who generously contribute their time and resources to enrich lives, build hope and provide opportunities to fulfill dreams. Since 1981, the South Seattle Community College Foundation has taken a leadership role in seeking private support to maintain standards of excellence at South.

Over the past 26 years the Foundation has led several projects to benefit the college, including, building a six-acre arboretum to serve as an outdoor classroom for students in the Landscape Horticulture Program, it completed a capital campaign to provide the Culinary Arts Program with a state-of-the-art Culinary complex and each year it awards over 100 scholarships to students who attend South. The Foundation is currently in the process of launching a new 13th year scholarship program to give all students from a selected high school the opportunity to attend college tuition-free for one year.
