As a new academic year begins, our commitment remains strong: transforming lives through education. With a steady focus on progress and strong connections, the college continues to grow, serving a diverse student body across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and program interests. Through the Cougar Community Campaign, you can find a home for your generosity. The funds raised reach every corner of our campuses, supporting students and programs that help them succeed in and beyond the classroom.

Whether you're giving as a staff member through payroll deduction or making a one-time donation, every gift matters. Your contribution supports scholarships, essential student resources, basic needs assistance, and innovative programs that drive student success. Together, we’re raising funds that will make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and the future of our college.

This year, we're highlighting ten impactful projects you can choose to support, each designed to meet student needs and strengthen our campus community:

• Basic Needs Endowment
• Beth A. Kelly Endowed Scholarship
• Cougar LEAP Office FFX
• English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Department FFX

Higher education builds skills, confidence, and personal growth, opening doors to lasting success and stability. With support from the Cougar Community, students are better equipped to overcome barriers and stay on track toward their goals. When we invest in students and programs at CCC, we’re investing in a stronger, more vibrant future for the entire Clackamas community.

Let’s make this our most impactful year yet. Go all in for Cougars!
