ENDOWMENT

Hutchinson Community College Endowment Association serves a unique mission by facilitating charitable intentions for donors who wish to support the students and programs of the college. Our work focuses on our responsibility to provide our students and community with educational opportunities that are relevant, rigorous, accessible, affordable, and convenient. The endowment was formed in 1959 for the purpose of stimulating voluntary private support from individuals, corporations, foundations, and others for the benefit of the college.

The Endowment Association is an independently incorporated 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that serves as the primary vehicle for seeking monetary gifts and is responsible for the identification and nurturing of relationships with donors, prospective donors, and other friends of the college.

The Endowment Association is dedicated to increasing student access and success at Hutchinson Community College through raising funds, building partnerships, and advocating for students and the college.

Our primary purpose is to provide scholarship assistance to students who are seeking to transfer to a four-year university or earn a technical degree, giving them the skills to enter the workforce. We are very proud of the work our organization does for not only the college but our students.

Hutchinson Community College Endowment Association is committed to continuously building a community of support, further strengthening Hutchinson Community College and enhancing the educational opportunities and experiences for our students. We build lifelong connections and partnerships with alumni and friends, and secure, invest and steward private financial support.

Our vision is to encourage and sustain long-term relationships with alumni, friends, donors, and local businesses and to seek their active support of the college. Those relationships will build a deeper commitment while assisting student success through the support of learning.
