About the PPSC Foundation

The Pikes Peak State College Foundation was formed in 1980 by a group of committed supporters of PPCC; the organization received its 501(c)3 status in 1981.

The task of the Foundation Board and Staff is vitally important – to raise awareness of the critical impact of PPSC on individuals, families and communities in the region and to generate the resources required to further enrich PPSC’s academic programs, launch new initiatives and provide scholarships for tens of thousands of deserving students.

The staff of PPSC Foundation can assist you to determine the ways you can realize your philanthropic goals with a gift to support Pikes Peak State College. Contact us at your convenience; we are here to help!
