Foundation Board
A Message from Our Foundation Board President
Dear friends,
Our purpose is simple yet profound: to expand access to higher education and enhance the quality of learning for students and faculty across Fresno City College, Reedley College, Clovis Community College, Madera Community College, and our Centers. Through scholarships, mini-grants, and campus improvement funds, we help remove barriers so students can focus on achieving their dreams.
Higher education remains one of the most powerful pathways to opportunity. It opens doors to meaningful careers, financial stability, and brighter futures. Yet, for many students, the journey to earn a college degree is both costly and demanding, requiring not only tuition but also countless hours of study and sacrifice. Too often, these challenges place higher education out of reach.
This work is only possible thanks to the generosity of our community. Donors, volunteers, and members of our Chancellor’s Circle all share in this mission, contributing their time, resources, and passion to make a tangible difference in the lives of students. I am equally grateful to our Foundation Board and staff, who lead with heart and commitment, ensuring that every effort directly supports student success.
Our vision is bold but clear, to provide support for every student in need, while also strengthening our campuses in ways that traditional funding cannot. Together, we are shaping a stronger, more equitable future for our region.
I invite you to join us. Whether through a gift, volunteering, or partnership, your support ensures that education and the opportunities it brings remains within reach for all.
With gratitude,
Dr. Marilyn Behringer
