Phoenix College Fundraising Priorities

Please click on the Fundraising Priority to make a donation.

Britt's Bears

Britt’s Bears helps former foster youth defy statistics and overcome hurdles by providing coaching and mentoring, alongside social and cultural experiences, with peers and coaches. Because where we start in life should not determine how far we can go.

Bumstead's Resource Room

An alarming number of students struggle to purchase food and supplies, which has a direct impact on their well-being and success. Providing essential support needed to fully engage in learning is the best way to ensure successful completion.

Early College Access

Early College Programs like Dual Enrollment, ACE and Hoop of Learning offer substantial benefits, helping ease the transition from high school to college and increasing academic confidence for students, and reducing the financial burden on families.

Emergency Support Stipends

Emergency Support Stipends provide stipends to students who face emergencies or unforeseen circumstances such as unexpected job loss, emergency medical expenses, housing crises, transportation issues, or sudden family emergencies, which might otherwise lead students to drop-out or stop-out of college.

Esports

Esports Teams provide students with a range of skills and experiences that contribute to improved teamwork and collaboration, critical thinking, communication and time- management skills, vital to academic and professional success.

Osos del Valle - Mariachi Ensemble

Performing in a musical ensemble can be costly, which limits access for students who wish to join the ensemble but do not have the financial resources to do so. Allow students to experience the Osos del Valle, which lifts the soul and leaves an indelible mark on our hearts.

Phoenix Promise

The Phoenix Promise Program is a commitment to Phoenix high school students to make college affordable and attainable. The program supports eligible Phoenix high school graduates with demonstrated financial needs and who do not receive Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) funds or other scholarships sufficient to cover the full cost of attending community college.

PC empowered me with scholarships and financial aid to help me successfully complete my degree in Organizational Management and Human Resources.”
