Craven CC Foundation

Give Where You Live: Local Giving, Lasting Impact - Join us in support of our students.

This year's annual campaign, Give Where You Live, celebrates the power of investing in our own community. Every gift to the Foundation helps educate the people who keep our region strong-nurses, CNAs, phlebotomists, physical therapy assistants, firefighters, welders, mechanics, construction workers, educators, business professionals, and many others whose skills touch our lives every day.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact close to home by helping local students achieve their educational goals. We hope you'll join us in supporting the Give Where You Live campaign.

For over 49 years, the Craven Community College Foundation has supported the College's vision of higher education for the residents of Craven County and beyond. Established in 1977, the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides financial support to students through scholarships and funding for programs, equipment, new and emerging initiatives, facilities, and other priorities on the New Bern, Havelock, and Volt Center campuses. The Foundation is committed to this mission and will continue to ensure that our students have the financial support they need to reach their educational goals.

In fiscal year 2026, the Foundation assisted over 3,000 students with direct funding to ensure they could continue their studies. We provided funding for tuition, fees, books, required course materials, testing, and emergency needs for students. The Foundation has over $650,000 available for student assistance for the 2026-27 academic year.

Give Where You Live is more than a slogan. It is a call to action. Every gift, no matter the size, advances our mission.

Join us in fulfilling the needs of our students well into the future. Please give today!
