Where Hope Begins
Established in 1996, the San Jacinto College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit* organization. Every dollar invested in the San Jacinto College Foundation helps students succeed, change their lives and provide economic prosperity to local families and communities.
The Foundation’s volunteer Board of Directors works closely with the College’s administration to raise funds to support scholarships, academic programs and learning facility enhancements.
We believe it is crucial to our community’s future to provide educational opportunities for those who can benefit from it the most.
Mission Statement
Fostering student access and success for today and tomorrow.
Dr. Brenda Hellyer is passionate about the work being done through the Foundation, and its profound effect on the lives of our students and community.
Our diverse board members are community members, business owners, mentors and givers.
