THE FOUNDATION IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE COLLEGE AND THE COMMUNITY. IT APPROACHED PRIVATE CITIZENS, BUSINESSES AND FOUNDATIONS TO DONATE FUNDS ON BEHALF OF PIERCE COLLEGE STUDENTS. SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED BASED ON NEED, ACADEMIC ABILITY, ARTISTIC TALENT, VOCATIONAL GOALS, AND/OR OTHER FACTORS. THE FOUNDATION ALSO HELPED THE COLLEGE UNDERTAKE SPECIAL PROJECTS THAT WERE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF ITS OPERATING BUDGET.
