Black Hawk College East Campus

A Tradition of Support

Since our inception, many employees, faculty and staff have generously supported scholarships, classroom resources, equipment, and special projects that enhance the campus experience. Gifts from current and retired staff, along with support from the Foundation Board and Trustees, have helped strengthen programs, improve learning environments, and expand opportunities for students. Their continued generosity reflects the strong sense of community that defines East Campus and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Why Participate?

When employees give, it shows students and the community that they care. As educators and college professionals, you are partners in student transformation. You already change lives in the classroom, and your gift extends that influence even further. Faculty and staff see the impact of education every day, and their support demonstrates a shared goal of helping students succeed.

Where Your Gift Helps

Donors can decide where their gift goes. Contributions may support scholarships, classroom equipment, technology upgrades, campus beautification, or other projects that improve student life.

Ways to Give

Employees can give with a one-time gift, through payroll deduction, or by setting up monthly or quarterly donations. Gifts can be made online or through the Foundation office. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a real difference for students.
