What BPCC Foundation does

BPCC Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation established in 1997 and headquartered in Bossier City, Louisiana. It exists exclusively to advance the educational mission of Bossier Parish Community College through philanthropic fundraising, scholarship administration, and faculty support programs. The Foundation manages an asset base exceeding $8.5 million and has cumulatively awarded over $800,000 in scholarships and $6 million in overall school support across 28 years of operation.

Its core programs include an annual giving campaign, approximately 25 annual scholarships plus 37 endowed scholarships (ranging from $500 per semester for part-time students to $1,000 per semester for full-time students), 6 endowed professorships aligned with Louisiana Board of Regents Sponsored Program guidelines in disciplines such as Nursing, Business, Allied Health, Engineering, Mathematics, and Cyber Technology, a crowdfunding platform powered by GiveCampus, and the InSPIRE Awards recognition program for faculty and staff. The Foundation participates in the Louisiana Board of Regents Support Fund (BoRSF) matching program, which doubles the impact of qualifying endowed gifts.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable contributions from individual donors, alumni, corporate partners, and community members. Donors giving $500 or more annually qualify for Foundation membership. Operational governance is provided by a volunteer board of directors led by President David "Rocky" Rockett, with day-to-day liaison handled through BPCC's Office of Institutional Advancement staffed by 8 individuals. The Foundation holds CEFEX Investment Steward certification (achieved August 10, 2018, the first non-profit in Louisiana to do so) for management of its endowed and non-endowed funds. Technology infrastructure consists of third-party platforms (GiveCampus, AwardSpring, Squarespace) with no proprietary software development.
