HCC’S INVEST IN HOUSTON’S FUTURE CAMPAIGN ACHIEVES
$20 MILLION GOAL 16 MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE SUPPORTING HCC STUDENT SUCCESS!!!!!

Dear Valued Donors,

Your contributions are handled with the utmost responsibility and care as reflected in the accompanying audited financial statements. In
fiscal year 2023, HCC Foundation contributions totaled nearly $7.2 million, $6.1 million of which was provided in scholarships and grants for Houston Community College student success. Thousands of individuals and their families in our local community were transformed by your generosity.

On behalf of the Houston Community College Foundation, we are writing this letter to extend our deepest gratitude to each of you, our donors, whose generosity changes the trajectory of the lives of our students and their families by Investing in Houston’s Future – HCC Students.

That is why, with your generous support, we have achieved an unprecedented
campaign goal of $20 million for HCC’s Invest in Houston’s Future Campaign 16 months ahead of schedule.
Throughout the past several years, your unwavering commitment and dedication to education has enabled us to provide vital resources and opportunities to HCC Students – 40% of whom are from households at or below the poverty level.

“We are thrilled with our donor’s philanthropic generosity and their significant investment
in the lives of Houston Community College students. The impact
of their giving celebrates their commitment to education and allows students to navigate the difficult financial challenges of balancing work, family, and education. Thank you, for your incredible support!”

“We ask our donors to Invest in Houston’s Future by investing in HCC student success. We
are profoundly grateful for their abundant generosity. Our donors know that their gift changes the trajectory of our students’ AND their families’ lives.
HCC is Houston’s Community College. HCC Makes Houston Work.”

In closing, we want to applaud the HCC Foundation Board of Directors for their leadership
and investment of time, talent, and resources in raising funds for HCC Student Success. We also want to acknowledge the commitment and dedication of our awesome HCC Foundation staff. Once again, thank you to each of you for your generosity and unwavering support.

Warmest regards,

Achieving our $20 million goal ahead of schedule was ONLY possible because of the commitment and dedication HCC leadership displayed by introducing the Foundation to industry partners,
charitable foundations, and Houston’s philanthropic leaders. HCC Leadership is highlighted in the gratitude report because we are profoundly grateful, proud, and honored to partner with HCC faculty, staff, and administration.

HCC’s Invest in Houston’s Future Campaign
Achieves $20 MILLION Goal 16 Months Ahead of Schedule.

HCC’s Invest in Houston’s Future Campaign was
launched on September 1, 2019, with a $20 million goal, and scheduled to
end on August 31, 2024. When we started, we didn’t know how we were going to achieve this goal. We saw hearts and hands rise to the challenge and we topped our $20 million campaign goal achieving $23,861,293 in FY23, 16 months ahead of schedule. We would like to honor our important partnership with HCC’s leadership in the campaign. Leading this charge was HCC Chancellor (former)
Dr. Cesar Maldonado and his unwavering commitment
to student success combined with his personal philanthropic support. In addition, we are grateful for the support of Izzy Anderson, Terry Corrigan, and Ashley Smith. We appreciate each of you.
