Foundation

Invest in a bright future.

Your gift to the Elgin Community College Foundation is critical in helping us create bright futures for our students—and our entire community.

The faculty, staff, and administrators are dedicated to the success of each student. Our goals include:

We meet students where they are and help them realize their dreams, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Provide access to hands-on training for real-world, in-demand skills in programs that immediately equip our students to contribute to a 21st-century workforce.
Develop partnerships with local industry, community, and education leaders to shape the future of our students. Learn more about ECC's role in our community and workforce partnership opportunities.

Fifty percent of ECC students could not afford their commitment to advancing their education without financial assistance.

We aim to maximize access to exceptional education to improve lives and strengthen our community.

Your philanthropic investment will have a greater impact at ECC than at most universities.

Every gift matters to our students. Your donation creates opportunities for students to enrich their lives, future, and community.
