Established in 1968, the Laramie County Community College Foundation exists to develop and sustain support for Laramie County Community College through solicitation, management and recognition of donations. The Foundation is dedicated to providing services and assistance to students, faculty staff and the community, thereby enhancing a sense of tradition and pride that will assist in advancing the college. Though it is separate from the college, the Foundation works closely with the college to generate private gifts for the college’s major fund-raising priorities. The Foundation also works to lay the groundwork for future fundraising success by expanding the base of donors, retaining donors and encouraging increased levels of support. In addition to raising money effectively, the Foundation takes very seriously the responsibility of providing careful management of funds already raised.
