Every gift, no matter the size, is important and makes a difference.
Contribute to the College's most pressing needs. Gifts to the Annual Fund are collectively designated to make the most impact and gives the Educational Foundation the flexibility to meet needs as they arise.
For instance, in response to Covid-19, the Foundation provided $62,500 in funding for chromebooks to ensure students could continue their path of study.Support the Annual Fund
Nearly two thirds of Oakton College student scholarship recipients identify as the first in their family to seek higher education.
Your charitable dollars are amplified at Oakton. While a $500 scholarship is not enough to fund one class credit at most four-year universities, at Oakton, we are committed to keeping tuition affordable and accessible. Here, a $500 gift covers a three-credit class plus textbooks.
Local businesses are a critical member of the greater Oakton community. Partnering with the Educational Foundation can help businesses promote their commitment to social good, help fuel our region’s economic engine, and gain access to a talented workforce.
