Welcome to Pasadena City College Foundation

For more than 85 years, Pasadena City College has provided a first-rate, affordable education for our community. In 1979, the Pasadena City College Foundation was incorporated as a nonprofit, charitable, public-benefit foundation to bridge the gap between the needs and resources of PCC.

Our mission is to help ensure the growth and development of the college. We do this by providing crucial private support for programs, facilities, equipment, faculty and students.

But we don’t do this alone. Generous support from our alumni, friends, corporations, foundations—and you—give PCC a “margin of excellence” that would not be possible without support above and beyond state funding.

Your support of the Pasadena City College Foundation ensures student success and expanded educational opportunities. Gifts to the PCC Foundation are tax deductible. We would be pleased to assist you and discuss how you can make a positive difference in students' lives and help them achieve their educational goals.

For more information, please contact the PCC Foundation at (626) 585-7065 or by email at pccfoundation@pasadena.edu.
