Champion Pima Community College by cultivating relationships for lasting positive impact.
A single purpose dominates Pima Community College Foundation Inc’s recent giving: scholarship awards to Pima Community College students. The two largest recent grants on file both went to Pima Community College in Tucson, one for $682,602 in 2024 and another for $506,397 in 2023, showing that student financial aid is not a side activity but a core function of the foundation’s grantmaking. Beyond those awards, the foundation supports a tightly connected set of PCC priorities. Its active programs include endowed scholarships for immigrant students, memorial scholarship funds, program support, and student success initiatives, along with funds tied to athletics and basic-needs support through the Aztec Resource Center and Food Pantry Program. The organization’s mission is framed around cultivating relationships for lasting positive impact, and its grantmaking reflects that structure: it channels resources back into the college, its students, and its campus programs rather than to outside institutions. The foundation’s giving also connects to long-term sustainability. Endowed gifts are used to create permanent funds for scholarships or designated program purposes, which ties current fundraising to future support for PCC students and programs.
Scholarships are the clearest through line. In 2024, the foundation granted $682,602 to Pima Community College for scholarship awards, and its active scholarship programs include the Fundación México Raquel Rubio-Goldsmith Immigrant Endowment, the David & Lee Scott Memorial Scholarship, and general Pima Foundation scholarships. Program support is another major lane. The foundation’s program support funds can purchase supplies and materials, support program development, and help with faculty training for PCC programs across campuses. It also lists program support and student success initiatives as a funded area. Student basic needs appear in the Aztec Resource Center & Food Pantry Program, which provides food bags, hygiene items, and referrals to community resources for PCC students facing food insecurity. Athletic support is also explicit through Aztecs Athletics Program Support, which can be directed to the general Athletics Fund or specific sports.
