About the Foundation

Smith Center.Gary Soren Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts.

The Ohlone College Foundation exists to broaden educational opportunities for students. One important function is to expand the number of scholarship opportunities available to students. Students can apply for Foundation Scholarships twice a year during Fall and Spring semesters.

The entire Ohlone community benefits from the Foundation’s support in providing equipment, furnishings, and community awareness programs at both the Fremont and Newark campuses. To develop financial resources for its endeavors, the Foundation conducts a range of activities, including an annual golf tournament, a benefit luncheon honoring local community members, and other fund-raising activities.

Programs with a Purpose, Gifts with Meaning

The Foundation receives the bulk of its financial support from individual community members, local businesses, and private funding groups and foundations. Donations, endowments, grants, and other gifts are an important source of funding for the College and its students. Of course, each gift to the College indirectly benefits the entire community as well by increasing opportunities for education.

How You Can Help

The Foundation facilitates grants, gifts, planned gifts, corporate funds, gifts-in-kind, and a host of other donation vehicles. Many donations are made with a specific purpose; for example, donations are made to honor an individual (living or deceased) or to fund a specific type of scholarship. Many gifts are left unrestricted to allow the Foundation to identify areas of need.

Support for the Foundation can come in the form of cash, commitments, life insurance, wills, or transfer of investments and real property. Other giving arrangements include bequests (wills), trust funds, and endowments, which are invested for long-term growth and ongoing income to help Ohlone students reach their educational goals.

Donors may purchase a brick on the “Pathway to Progress” at the Newark campus, participate in the annual Golf Tournament, or attend the spectacular Citizen of the Year benefit luncheon. The newest scholarship program, HOSTS (Helping One Student To Succeed), enables donors to help a student afford college without demanding a large financial commitment from the donor.

All gifts are tax deductible, and subject to current tax accounting limitations. Prospective donors are encouraged to consult a qualified tax consultant for more detailed information.

Contributions of any size are enthusiastically welcomed and greatly appreciated – and supporting the Foundation is a great way to invest in the future of Ohlone students. To learn more about the Foundation or how to help, please call (510) 659-6020.
