Charitable support is critical for helping students achieve their dreams. In 2019, $4.5M in scholarship funding was made available for students, as well as $1.4M in academic program support through the Broward College Foundation. This support helps students become Empowered by Broward. Also, as all nonprofits, Broward College relies on a combination of revenue and philanthropy to supply our budget. Each year, it becomes increasingly important for the College to fund a bigger portion of the budget from philanthropy; thereby, decreasing our reliance on tuition revenue.

Gifts can be made via one-time or recurring gifts on the Broward College Foundation website or through payroll deduction. Payroll Deduction is one of the most convenient ways for faculty, staff, and administrators to make an annual gift. You simple indicate the amount you would like automatically deducted from each paycheck and where your support should be designated. Deductions can be established as ongoing and is a great way to spread out payments and ensure a certain total for the year.

Tell us where to direct your support—whether through student scholarships, or program support. If you don't have a preference, we encourage you to choose the Empowerment Fund. The Empowerment Fund provides the greatest flexibility to quickly respond to critical needs of the College community and advance top priorities.

You determine the size and designation of your gift according to your own charitable priorities and capacity. Gifts of all sizes are both appreciated and count toward our participation rate. High participation among faculty, staff, and administrators provides a great endorsement for others to support Broward College.
