RVCC Foundation
The Raritan Valley Community College Foundation is the fund-raising arm of RVCC. The Foundation engages individuals, local businesses, corporations, and other foundations in philanthropic activities to support the College’s standing as a premier academic institution and the most important source of culture and continuing education in Somerset and Hunterdon counties.
The RVCC Foundation’s annual fund provides the “margin of excellence” that allows the College to enhance its programs beyond public and tuition sources. The Foundation secures scholarship support for students demonstrating academic excellence and/or financial need, and also raises funds for a variety of College programs, including the Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the Paul Robeson Institute for Ethics, Leadership and Social Justice. These programs offer opportunities for students, faculty and the general public to connect with the College beyond the classroom and have their horizons expanded and their lives enriched. Other funding priorities include the Theatre at RVCC, the Planetarium, and the Art Gallery. The RVCC Foundation also is raising capital funds to build the Ray Bateman Center for Student Life and Leadership. The Center will provide adaptable space that will allow faculty and students to interact more readily in both formal and informal collaborative activities across all disciplines, and promote integrated learning experiences that will enhance their studies.
There are many ways to partner with the Foundation to help ensure the College continues to provide high quality education at an affordable cost and to promote intellectual achievement, lifelong learning, and personal growth for students and the community at large.
For additional information, call (908) 526-1200, extensions 8411 or 8349, or visit the Foundation website at www.raritanval.edu/foundation.
