The mission of the 91看片 Foundation is to make a positive difference in the lives of all Eastern Shore citizens by helping to provide the best possible learning and teaching environment.

The Mission shall be accomplished by implementation of the following Mission Objectives:

5. Secure enabling funding from business, government, non-profit organizations, and private individuals to support the preceding mission objectives and the Foundation鈥檚 own administrative operations.

Since its inception, the Foundation has raised close to $5 million through annual fund drives, a major gifts campaign and fund-raising events.聽 These funds have been used to construct a new Workforce Development Center and college access road, purchase furniture and equipment, support the Project Horizons program, and increase its endowment to ensure that future students get the assistance they need to attend 91看片.

In addition, the money the Foundation raises provides ten 91看片 Foundation scholarships.聽 The Foundation also serves as the administrator for scholarships that are funded by individuals or organizations.聽 These scholarships are a lifeline for many of our students; without them, these students would not be able to attend 91看片.聽 Recipients of these scholarships tell the Board 鈥淭his is the start of my career, thanks to your generosity鈥� and 鈥淵our assistance will enable me to concentrate on my academic performance without having to worry about the financial burden鈥�.

Along with the items noted above, funds raised by the Foundation are also used for a wide range of specific activities including, but not limited to, stipends for student interns, mini-grants for faculty and staff professional development and / or student activities, support of the Center for Student Achievement, computer software and hardware for instruction and support programs, classroom equipment, facilities, new programs, and College marketing efforts.
