About

The Central Piedmont Community College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization established in 1965.

We seek funding to address priority programs and needs as identified by the college's leadership. These funds fuel the areas of greatest need at Central Piedmont. We secure donations for scholarship opportunities that transform the lives of students. Gifts to the Central Piedmont Community College Foundation power a stronger future for our students and our region.
