M ESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDATI ON DI RECTOR
T
he North Florida Community College Foundation’s mission is simply to
support North Florida Community College. We are committed to this
mission. The NFCC Foundation uses donations to support scholarships,
programs and other endeavors that our donors make known to us.
We have the ability to offer our support in a wide variety of ways. The
majority of our support goes to students in the form of scholarships, but
recently the community has reached out and has inquired about how we can
best partner to make this a better community for all of us.
As committed partners with our community, we are assured that our
partners are committed, as well. As we strive to give our best to the community,
they in return give their best to NFCC. Great partnerships are forged with this
strong level of commitment. This community commitment was apparent in the
beginning, and has remained strong over the past 60 years.
For those who attended NFJC, SRJC or NFCC, there were many good times on
and off campus. Those times included making new friends, some that remained
life-long friends over the years. Some even met and married their life-long friends.
Whenever our students are here with us, their community of friends change,
they change – they grow up a little and set goals for their lives. Whatever
students need to help them move toward their goals, we provide it. Some want
to move on to a university, but they all want an education that will help them
make better lives for themselves and their families. The Foundation helps these
students through your donations.
We ask you to commit to North Florida Community College as we provide
the education that helps students move toward their goals. Your commitment,
your donations and contributions are very much appreciated and used to give
back to North Florida Community College, the students and programs we
serve. We ask you to partner with us to do this.
The North Florida Community College Foundation is a separate, not-for-
profit, IRS-approved 501©(3) corporation chartered to provide a vehicle for
acquiring and receiving gifts. These contributions are managed by a voluntary
Board of Directors representing business and civic leaders and College
personnel from the six counties served by NFCC which include Madison,
Taylor, Jefferson, Suwannee, Hamilton and Lafayette counties. The North
Florida Community College Foundation Board of Directors works diligently to
ensure that the needs of the community are heard and served. If you meet one
of our Directors, please let him or her know what an outstanding job the Board
is doing. Let them know how you support our mission and the work the Board
members are doing.
I invite you to partner with us in our commitment to our community.
Please contact me if you wish to be part of this commitment of serving our
community. You may email me at [e-mail]; call me at [phone];
or mail me at 325 NW Turner Davis Drive, Madison, Florida 32340. Our website
is www.nfcc.edu.
Thank you. I look forward to meeting and talking with all of you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cheryl S. James
