About Anne Arundel Community College Foundation
Anne Arundel Community College Foundation Inc’s largest recent grant was $5,099,086 in 2023 for program support to Anne Arundel Community College. That scale sets the tone for a funder whose giving is built around the college’s students, programs, and support services rather than external charities. Recent awards also show a sustained scholarship pattern: $1,206,744 in 2025, $1,130,695 in 2023, and $1,092,210 in 2024, all to the college for scholarships. The foundation’s work centers on private philanthropy and donor-supported scholarship funds, including annual and endowed scholarships, with awards that help pay tuition and educational expenses for AACC students. It also backs college programming directly, including support transferred to the institution for student educational experiences. Within its scholarship activity, the foundation funds multiple student pathways, from credit study and associate degree completion to nursing, healthcare careers, and skilled trades. The result is a local grantmaker with a tightly defined mission: strengthen Anne Arundel Community College through student aid and institutional support.
What Anne Arundel Community College Foundation Funds
Scholarship support is the clearest thread in the foundation’s recent work. In 2024-2025, it transferred more than $1.8 million in private scholarships to 806 students, and its active scholarship programs include AACC Foundation Scholarships (General), Future Nursing Professionals Scholarship, and Scholarship for Associate Degree Completion. The foundation also funds noncredit workforce training through CEWD Institutional Scholarships, which cover select certificate programs. Healthcare workforce training is another visible priority. The Future Nursing Professionals Scholarship supports enrollment in AACC’s Registered Nursing program, while the Emerging Healthcare Professionals Scholarship covers students in EMS, physical therapist assisting, medical assisting, medical coding, massage therapy, surgical technology, and related programs. Skilled trades appear through the Clauson Center Trades Education Scholarship, which supports students in trades programs at the Clauson Center for Innovation and Skilled Trades. Beyond student aid, the foundation reported $550,000 in programmatic support to the college in 2024-2025.
How Anne Arundel Community College Foundation Gives
The recent grant distribution is concentrated in large awards: p25 is $237,471, the median is $1,092,210, and p75 is $1,168,720. That pattern reflects a small number of sizable institutional grants rather than many small checks. The same recipient appears across multiple years, indicating recurring support to Anne Arundel Community College in both scholarships and program support. The foundation’s structure is collegiate and scholarship-focused: it administers private scholarships, transfers scholarship awards to students, and also funds programmatic support for the college. Several active scholarship programs accept unsolicited applications through the AACC Scholarship Portal, including a MyAACC single-sign-on process for credit students.
