Founded in 1984, the Savannah Technical College Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization that exists to raise and disperse funds to support the College’s efforts to enhance learning, workforce training and economic development in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham and Liberty counties. The Foundation also supports student success through its many privately funded
scholarships
.The state of Georgia provides less than 33% of the operational budget for the college; therefore, for Savannah Technical College to meet its mission of excellence, private investment is essential. The Foundation, its volunteer Board of Trustees and Community Council work as advocates and solicit funds from public, corporate and individual partnerships that are necessary to cultivate investment in the college.
The Foundation organizes and actively promotes annual fund drives, fundraising events and new scholarship opportunities. The 2013 Tribute to Community STARS will be held on Friday, March 22 at noon in the Eckburg Auditorium. Buy Tribute tickets or give a donation if you cannot attend.
