We have developed thresholds for our endowments and thresholds for our scholarships. The balance left in the coffers is in unrestricted gifts. In addition to individuals, many for profit companies and non-profit organizations have given tremendous support to our programs. We try to meet their needs, which, in turn, support our students and faculty. We plan to continue to raise awareness of ACC's important role in workforce education, and to develop resources to expand capacity in areas such as information technology where the college is unable to accommodate many of the students who would like to enroll.
Some funds also go to supplement faculty development.
The Foundation is also embarking in a planned giving program. These types of gifts, both restricted and unrestricted, can benefit ACC for many years. In fact, we were recently able to establish and endowed scholarship for our automotive technology program as a result of funds left to us by a generous individual. And every person can effortlessly give to the ACC Foundation weekly, or however often they buy groceries from Randalls. The Foundation is listed as one of Randalls approved charities.
