About Central Oregon Community College Foundation
A single 2024 grant of $568,132 to Central Oregon Community College for the Madras Expansion Project defines the foundation’s recent public grantmaking. Central Oregon Community College Foundation exists to support COCC and its students, so its giving is closely tied to the college’s educational mission rather than to external nonprofit programs. The foundation’s work centers on scholarships, student support, and college program funding, with a strong emphasis on access to postsecondary education in Central Oregon. One visible part of that effort is the COCC Foundation Scholarships program, which awards funding to COCC students each year. Another is the College Program & Capital Improvement Support channel, through which the foundation provides fiscal support for college programs and occasionally capital improvement campaigns. The foundation also maintains named scholarship funds, including the Lita Factor Kilpatrick Scholarship Fund and the LGBTQ Student Scholarship Fund, both aimed at helping specific student populations at COCC. Its model is local and institution-centered: support the college, help students persist, and back projects that strengthen the campus and its role in the region.
What Central Oregon Community College Foundation Funds
Scholarship support is a core part of the foundation’s work. Through the COCC Foundation Scholarships program, it awards $5,250 grants to COCC students, with nearly 400 students receiving more than $2.4 million in scholarships. Named funds add another layer of student aid, including the Lita Factor Kilpatrick Scholarship Fund and the LGBTQ Student Scholarship Fund. The foundation also supports workforce preparation. Its focus areas include workforce development in healthcare and early childhood education, along with career and technical training in culinary and health careers. Beyond student aid, the foundation funds college programs and capital improvements at Central Oregon Community College. That institutional support extends its role from direct student funding to broader infrastructure and program backing that serves the college community.
How Central Oregon Community College Foundation Gives
The reported grant-size distribution is flat at $568,132 for p25, median, and p75, reflecting a single recent grant in the data. The foundation’s public grantmaking is highly concentrated in a local pattern, with 100% of grants going to recipients in Oregon. The grants and programs shown point to an institution-based funder that supports the college itself, student scholarships, and designated scholarship funds rather than a broad external grant portfolio. Several channels are open to unsolicited support, including scholarship funds and donation mechanisms, while college program and capital improvement support is directed to the college rather than to outside applicants.
