A gift to the CHC Endowment will make a difference for students both today and in the future.

The Crafton Hills College Endowment Fund is a dedicated and permanent investment which provides long-term financial strength. The interest earned provides a critical source of annual funding for the College. The endowment underwrites scholarships, program support, and special projects. Because our endowment is invested for long-term growth, it ensures financial stability today, tomorrow and in perpetuity.

Whether through a current gift or one planned through your estate, making the decision to invest in the CHC Endowment fund is one of the most generous and forward-thinking ways possible to help generations of students for years to come.

Direct Student Support

The need for supporting students directly not only encourages student success and relieves financial burdens, but it can also offer inspiration and validate the importance of their education. The Foundation provides Crafton’s students with various methods of direct support such as Scholarships and Recognition Awards, Student Employment, Transfer Application Fee Reimbursements, Textbook Loans and more. By providing this support, our students are given the motivation to continue pursuing their educational goals, knowing there are people in the community who want them to succeed.

Program Support

From new equipment for the Fire Academy and Paramedic students to field trips for STEM and Social Science students, the Foundation is able to meet the needs of our campus when funding for is not otherwise available. By enhancing the educational opportunities available for our various programs we are able to increase student success and the overall student experience.

Emergency Support

Sometimes it’s the unforeseen circumstances which allow the Foundation to make the biggest impact in a student’s life. The recent wildfires affected our community in ways we could not have predicted. By providing emergency funds to those who were evacuated from their homes, the Foundation was able to help with expenses such as hotel rooms, extra clothing and food/medicine. This support provided our students with some immediate financial relief and allowed them to continue to focusing completing their courses successfully, uncertain of whether or not they would be able to return to their homes.
