Frequently Asked Questions

Community college funding comes primarily from four major sources…state funding, tuition and fees, tax dollars (where local taxes are levied) and gifts/grants. As state funding shifts and student tuition and fees increase, the public-private partnership must be strengthened through local taxpayers, private donors, and business/industry.

The Howard College Foundation-Big Spring and Lamesa; Howard College at San Angelo Foundation; and SWCID Foundation work closely with the Board of Trustees and the administration of the college to determine strategic needs. These strategic needs drive the efforts of the foundation. Unrestricted gifts are placed in the area with the most need. In some instances, donors provide gifts that enhance the vision of the college’s strategic plan.

Giving thru any of the Foundations (Howard College Foundation-Big Spring and Lamesa; Howard College at San Angelo Foundation; and SWCD Foundation) allows you to designate your gift for a specific purpose. You may direct your preference with a letter, notation on your check, or gift agreement.
