The Cerritos College Foundation was established as a nonprofit organization in 1979 to support students, programs, and services at Cerritos College, a public community college in southeastern Los Angeles County. The Foundation is an independent organization, but we are an integral part of the Cerritos College community. We work closely with alumni, donors, college employees, corporate partners, and community organizations to raise support and awareness. The Foundation has experienced significant growth over the past year, with the total assets we manage increasing from $4.5 million to more than $9 million. With increased support from generous donors, we are able to provide more student scholarships and expand vital support for college programs and services.
