Ways to Give
There are many ways to give to the SFCC Foundation, all of which help the college enhance services, scholarships and opportunities for our students and the community we serve. Each year hundreds of students directly benefit from charitable contributions made by SFCC alumni and friends—individuals, corporations, foundations, and service organizations. Your gift provides hope and opportunities for the next generation of students.
