The Grayson College Foundation, Inc. was incorporated on March 1992, as a 501 (c) 3, a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity formed solely for the purpose of support of Grayson College.
The Foundation seeks financial support to strengthen and expand the College's academic and technical programs. Gifts and grants are needed beyond the scope of tax-based funding, thus providing a margin of excellence for the College's diversified program of learning opportunities.
Members of the Foundation are persons and companies which have made a gift to Grayson College during the current calendar year. The Foundation is governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Directors.
The Foundation may receive designated or unrestricted gifts and grants to be used for approved purposes at Grayson College. The Foundation may also hold funds in endowment for the College. Gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent of limits set by law.
Scholarships continue to be a great need for education, training, and retraining for a new career, or a second career. We have received a grant to help establish a PROMISE program. This provides gap funding for ALL students. The
Grayson College Foundation's mission is to "Fulfill Donor Wishes through Student Success." Our donors provide over $600,000 per year, which provides approximately 493 scholarships. These students could not attend the college if they did not receive the financial support provided by the Foundation.
Your support is critical to our students' future and academic success.
A gift to this emergency fund helps provide:

• Assistance with transportation expenses.
• Immediate support for students facing housing challenges or food insecurity.

At Grayson College, equity refers to providing what students need to be successful through the intentional design of the college experience. At its base, our approach to equity is rooted in fairness. We believe that access to high-quality education in an inclusive environment is the right of all individuals and is imperative for the continued advancement of a strong democracy and workforce. We know the college serves as a beacon of hope for preserving access to higher education and success for all students, particularly students of color, low-income students, and other historically underrepresented student populations. Structural inequalities and systemic poverty that are often the result of historic and systemic social injustices have a negative impact on our vision of access and success. We acknowledge that these inequities typically manifest as unintended or indirect consequences of unexamined institutional or social policies. All members of our team must commit to the pursuit of dismantling these barriers on our path to providing equity for students. This starts with routinely scrutinizing structural barriers to student success and is followed by executing an intentional approach to creating a climate of enacting equity-minded policies, practices (including employment practices and talent management), and behaviors that lead to success for all students.
