As community colleges navigate evolving workforce demands, funding pressures, and growing student needs, foundations are increasingly serving as strategic institutional partners. This session will explore how the Parkland College Foundation has aligned foundation strategy with college priorities to support fundraising growth, strengthen community partnerships, and advance long-term sustainability. The discussion will examine the evolving role of community college foundations, including the intersection of major gifts, grants, government relations, corporate partnerships, workforce initiatives, and community engagement within a broader advancement framework. Participants will engage in conversation around the opportunities and challenges foundations face as they position themselves as more integrated strategic partners to their colleges.
