Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
AS AN INDEPENDENT 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AND PARTNER TO SBCC, THE SBCC FOUNDATION AWARDS MORE THAN $5 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAMS, SCHOLARSHIPS, BOOK GRANTS, EMERGENCY FUNDS, AND OTHER CRITICAL NEEDS OF THE COLLEGE. FOR NEARLY FIVE DECADES, THE RESOURCES RAISED AND MANAGED BY THE SBCC FOUNDATION HAVE SUPPORTED SBCC STUDENTS AS THEY PREPARE FOR CAREERS, TRANSFER TO FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITIES, AND PURSUE LIFELONG LEARNING GOALS. IN 2016, THE FOUNDATION CREATED THE SBCC PROMISE, OFFERING ALL RECENT, LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND SBCC FULL-TIME AT NO COST. THE SBCC PROMISE RELIES ENTIRELY ON PRIVATE SUPPORT AND COVERS ALL REQUIRED FEES, BOOKS, AND SUPPLIES FOR UP TO TWO YEARS. TO DATE, MORE THAN 7,500 LOCAL STUDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE SBCC PROMISE.
Activities or mission (Part I)

-
THE SBCC FOUNDATION PROVIDED $2.4 MILLION IN SUPPORT TO COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS DURING THE 2023-2024 ACADEMIC YEAR. THESE RESOURCES ALLOW COLLEGE FACULTY, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATORS TO IMPROVE EXISTING PROGRAMS, EXPERIMENT WITH NEW AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES, AND ACHIEVE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC OUTCOMES.
Expenses $2,812,543 · Grants $2,108,245
-
THE SBCC FOUNDATION PROVIDED OVER $1.3 MILLION IN DIRECT STUDENT SUPPORT, IN THE FORM OF SCHOLARSHIPS AND BOOKS GRANTS, TO MORE THAN 1100 STUDENTS IN THE 2023-2024 ACADEMIC YEAR. FOR MANY STUDENTS, THIS SUPPORT CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DROPPING OUT OF COLLEGE AND SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A DEGREE, CERTIFICATE, OR TRANSFER PROGRAM. THE SBCC FOUNDATION ALSO CONTINUED TO FUND IMPORTANT STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT SERVE SINGLE-PARENT STUDENTS, UNDERPREPARED HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, AND THOSE RECENTLY RELEASED FROM THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WHO ARE STARTING COLLEGE. ACCORDING TO THE COLLEGE FUTURES FOUNDATION, SCHOLARSHIPS ALSO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON STUDENT MATRICULATION RATES.
Expenses $1,344,368 · Grants $1,344,368
-
THE SBCC FOUNDATION CREATED THE SBCC PROMISE IN 2016, TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY'S COLLEGE ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE TO ALL RECENT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. THE SBCC PROMISE OFFERS TWO YEARS OF COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT (COVERING ALL REQUIRED FEES, BOOKS AND SUPPLIES) TO ANY LOCAL STUDENT WHO ENROLLS FULL TIME AT SBCC IN THE FALL OR SPRING SEMESTER FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION WITHIN THE SBCC DISTRICT. IN THE 2023-2024 ACADEMIC YEAR, MORE THAN 1,800 SBCC PROMISE STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED. RESEARCH ON COLLEGE ACHIEVEMENT CORRELATES A STUDENT'S CHANCE OF SUCCESS WITH EARLY ENROLLMENT, FULL-TIME STUDENT STATUS, AND ACCESS TO ACADEMIC COUNSELING AND SUPPORT. THE SBCC PROMISE INCLUDES ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS, PROVIDING $2.2 MILLION IN SUPPORT TO SBCC PROMISE STUDENTS IN THE 2023-2024 ACADEMIC YEAR.
Expenses $2,473,016 · Grants $2,274,558

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
