Mission
The Orange Coast College Foundation serves as a community and financial support organization to help Orange Coast College achieve its mission. The goals of the Orange Coast College Foundation include providing financial support for the College, involvement opportunities for board and community members, advocacy to help the College meet its goals, and advisement to the college’s administration. A 22-member volunteer Board of Directors consisting of 16 community members, four members of the college administration, a faculty representative, and the president of the college’s associated students oversee the activities and programs of the Foundation. The Foundation has three full-time employees: an executive director and two administrative assistants. Members of the Orange Coast College Foundation Board of Directors are volunteers. They generally serve three-year renewable terms. Members are appointed from the community and can include alumni, business leaders, community leaders, parents, donors, and members of the College’s current and retired faculty and staff who are interested in supporting the missions of the college and the Foundation.
