Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Undergraduate Colleges
Mission: The foundation is dedicated to building an outstanding future for the evergreen state college by raising private gifts from our remarkable donors. Private gifts provide critical support by funding scholarships, program endowments, equipment and other campus needs.
Programs: Public service centers. In demonstration of evergreen's strong commitment to give back to the communities it serves, the college currently operates public service centers including the longhouse education and cultural center, the center for community based learning and action, the center for sustainable infrastructure, and the sustainability in prisons project. The foundation supports these public service centers by securing and administering private gifts including grants to enhance their programs.
academic support, research and other college support. The foundation provides support to the college that adds a margin of excellence to the evergreen educational experience. Foundation support for the college bolsters a variety of programs, including faculty professional development and research, the organic farm, the kaos radio station, the sustainable prisons project, the summer undergraduate research fellowships, microbiology research, the library, the evergreen student civic engagement institute, various lecture series, and the center for creative and applied media.
student aid. Evergreen has a long tradition of serving a diverse population of students. Almost one third of the college's students are first in their family to go to college. Roughly three quarters of evergreen's students receive financial aid. Scholarships and fellowships help evergreen students stay in school, earn their degrees and make a positive impact in their communities.
