At the College of the Desert Foundation,
we believe education is the cornerstone of a thriving community. Every dollar you donate opens a door for students who might never have the chance to pursue their dreams without you. Your generosity doesn’t just fund an education – it creates a future, paving the way for students to build lives full of potential and success.
Join us. Make dreams happen.
Why You Should Support the COD Foundation
The core of COD Foundation for over 40 years has been to strengthen the infrastructure of COD. Today, the Foundation manages endowments and other assets in excess of $60 million. We’ve raised over $130 million to support student services. We also provide short-and-long-term support for scholarships; provide students with access to textbooks, which are often the most expensive part of college life. The generosity of our donors has allowed for upgrades in building, technology, and equipment. It has ensured our students have access to the most basic needs. With your support we can continue to remove financial barriers to our students’ education as well as enhance academic and extra-curricular programs that enrich their educational experience.
