Fundraising for community colleges requires a unique and compelling case—one that goes beyond alumni appeals and focuses on the transformative impact these institutions have on the broader community. In this session, we’ll explore how to identify, attract, and steward donors who are passionate about education, workforce development, and economic opportunity.

Hear from three community college perspectives—a district, a foundation, and an individual campus—as they share actionable strategies, lessons learned, and standout examples of recent campaigns that galvanized local support. Whether you're building a case for support, designing stewardship plans, or launching a new campaign, you'll walk away with practical tools that can be scaled to your institution to drive fundraising success in the community college context.
