Donations
One of the Foundation's highest priorities is the Building Fund. The College added four new classrooms in 2005, but is
still in need of more space for programs. The Foundation's other priority is Scholarships. This year the Foundation
awarded nineteen (19) scholarships to full-and part-time students at Klamath Community College. The Klamath Community College
Foundation invites you to donate to the program(s) of your choice. Contributions are tax deductible.
