Your Impact

TCC employees have created scholarships, opportunities, and resources for students through Foundation Funded Projects not sustained by state or local funding.

Your gifts go to develop opportunities that: 

  • Develop future scientists through firsthand experiences that deepen critical thinking skills while working with medical professionals and engineers
  • Connect students to local employers for internships and work experience
  • Support academic competitions where students earn recognition for excellence in art, history, math, and poetry
  • Build a support network of peer tutors for Nursing students to increase the number of graduates
  • Help keep students on the path to a degree when an emergency expense happens 

You Make a Difference

“Donations you make to the Foundation don’t just cover tuition they don’t just cover the cost of textbooks; they support students in all different manners and through the foundation we change lives one student at a time.”

Dr. Angela Sivadon, TCC Sr. VP & Chief Academic Officer

Still Have Questions?

The Believe in TCC campaign is an annual employee-giving campaign that funds TCC Foundation-funded projects and scholarships. TCC relies on private funding from employees and community donors to fund the initiatives and high-impact practices proposed by TCC faculty and staff. Because of you, more scholarships are created, academic learning is enhanced through efficient and updated facilities, and the student experience is advanced.

Funds raised through the Believe in TCC Campaign contribute to projects that enhance the various needs of students, faculty, and staff throughout TCC.

State and local funding allocated to TCC is not always enough to support our strategic goals. With private funding, such as your contributions from the Believe in TCC Campaign, the TCC Foundation is able to support important initiatives that will further enhance the experience and achievements of TCC students and employees.

Every day you work tirelessly to support our students and to achieve the College’s mission – Building Success Through Education. We know you care.

The Believe in TCC campaign is one more way YOU can give back to students and your participation tells external donors that our work in the community matters.

State and local funding allocated to TCC is not always enough to support our projects through TCC. We use the funds for important projects proposed by your colleagues. Every gift counts. Thank you for Believing in TCC!

You can impact students or colleagues with a gift of any size. Please make a gift that is meaningful to you. Consider breaking down your donation through a payroll deduction.

You can make your pledge and/or donation online, by either credit card, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, or payroll deduction.

For those who would like to make a one-time gift or donation by check, you can complete a Believe in TCC donation pledge card and return it to the TCC Foundation with the check enclosed. You can also make a gift through a payroll deduction. Deductions will begin July 1, 2024, and will run through June 30, 2025. 

Tulsa Community College Foundation is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to organizations with 501(c)(3) status may be tax deductible, but deductions are limited to the excess of your contribution over the fair market value of goods or services provided. Please consult with your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your gift.
