Clark County Skills Center Foundation

Supporting Education that Works

Your dollar is more than just a dollar if donated to The Clark County Skills Center Foundation. Its value is multiplied many times over when invested with other gifts to support students and technical career programs offered at the Skills Center.

Philanthropy can transform the lives of Skills Center students through scholarships, leadership opportunities, and classroom learning with state-of-the-art technology.

The Foundation was established in 1994 to encourage and honor private giving to the Skills Center. The goal is to promote a tradition of philanthropy for high priority needs and for endowment gifts. Donors can support the Center in a variety of ways, and a gift can be applied where the donor decides it will bring the most benefits.

The Foundation Board of Directors, who provides financial stewardship for the philanthropic funds, represents a diverse group of enthusiastic, talented business and civic leaders from Southwest Washington who serve as advocates and ambassadors for the Skills Center and its Director.
