Foundation: Transform Lives with Your Year-end Gift

A message from the Educational Foundation of Blue Ridge Community College

As we approach the close of the year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous impact your generosity has made through the Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation. Your support continues to shape the lives of students, strengthen our workforce, and build brighter futures for families throughout Henderson and Transylvania counties.

This year, your gifts have expanded innovative programs, powered life-changing scholarships, and provided essential resources that remove barriers for students pursuing their goals. From first-generation college students to working adults seeking new career paths, the opportunities you help create ripple far beyond the classroom, supporting families, employers, and the future vitality of our community.

You may also find that making a charitable contribution before December 31st offers financial advantages. Year-end gifts may qualify for allowable charitable deductions, enabling you to invest in student success while also supporting your personal tax planning.

Every dollar you give turns generosity into long-term impact. Your support equips students with the tools, resources, and confidence they need to succeed—and our entire region benefits from the skilled graduates who go on to strengthen local businesses and industries.

Thank you for believing in education, believing in our students, and believing in the power of opportunity. We are deeply grateful for your continued partnership and look forward to all we will accomplish together in the year ahead.

Warmest wishes for a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

Jamie Wiener
Executive Director, Educational Foundation
