Cuyahoga Community College Foundation

The Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that seeks funding for programs, services and scholarships for the College. Its mission is to provide resources for advancing student success and transforming the lives of those Tri-C serves. The Foundation ensures Tri-C has the resources to help students learn, thrive and succeed and to create a prosperous community for all.

The Tri-C Foundation’s philanthropic goals prioritize:

• Community Support: Community support to the Tri-C Foundation helps education come first for our learners. Together, we provide the resources students need to learn, thrive and succeed.

• The Future of Work: Preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow reduces skills gaps and fosters employability.

• Pathways to Success: Streamlining access to Tri-C helps all students find their unique path to success.

Founded in 1963 as Ohio’s first community college, Tri-C serves more than 35,000 students each year. Its mission is to provide educational opportunities and services that promote individual development and improve the quality of life in a multicultural community. A Tri-C education can decrease employment inequity and income inequality and prepare students to work in high-demand industries like information technology, public safety, nursing and health careers, creative arts and manufacturing technology. Low tuition, distance learning, flexible scheduling, countywide instructional sites and superior student support make the College accessible and effective for students from all backgrounds. As they achieve academic success, 90% of Tri-C graduates remain in Northeast Ohio, contributing to the economic vitality of our region.

The Tri-C Foundation seeks charitable investments to support Tri-C programs and scholarships, ensuring financial stability for the College and helping education come first for our students.
