Give Today

Columbia Basin College Foundation

Since 1984, the Columbia Basin College (CBC) Foundation has connected generous individuals, businesses, and community partners with opportunities to transform lives through education. Every gift helps advance CBC's mission of expanding access to high-quality education and preparing students to thrive.

When you give to the CBC Foundation, you're doing more than making a donation. You’re investing in students, strengthening our regional workforce, and helping build a brighter future for the communities we serve. Whether your contribution is a one-time gift or an ongoing commitment, every dollar creates opportunities that change lives.

You can choose to support:

  • Student scholarships, helping remove financial barriers to education.
  • Student support programs, the wrap around services that help students be successful.
  • College priorities, funding initiatives that enhance student success and innovation.
  • A specific program or area of interest that reflects your passion.
  • The Foundation's Greatest Need Fund, allowing your gift to address the College's most urgent opportunities and emerging needs.

Our Foundation team is here to help you maximize the impact of your philanthropy. Whether you're interested in making an annual gift, establishing an endowed scholarship, or creating a legacy through planned giving, we'll work with you to ensure your generosity reflects your values and creates a lasting impact for generations of CBC students.

There are many ways to give, including cash, credit card, appreciated stock, donor-advised funds (DAFs), and Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from your IRA. No matter how you choose to give, your support makes a lasting impact on student success and strengthens our community.

The Columbia Basin College Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Tax ID: 91-1307538.
