The Florida College System Foundation was established in 1994. Its mission is to promote Florida’s Colleges to be the nation’s leading advocate for postsecondary educational opportunity, access, and student success while respecting and protecting the autonomy and local support of the individual colleges.

It is the policy of the board of Directors that we recruit gifts and donations from national and statewide groups. The Florida College System Foundation will coordinate and communicate closely with Florida’s 28 college foundations to eliminate any potential for conflict or competition.

Florida’s Colleges have become important providers for workers needing to develop, retool, refine, and broaden their skills. Because of their close connection to local labor markets, Florida colleges are well positioned to prepare workers for high demand occupations. Most of the nurses and first responders in Florida are community college graduates. And, the majority of our teachers get their start at community colleges.
