Tompkins Cortland Community College
Foundation, Inc.

The Tompkins Cortland Community College Foundation, Inc. is an independent, self-supporting, not-for-profit charitable organization, founded in 1971 by the College’s Board of Trustees and other visionary community leaders who realized that public support would not always be sufficient to ensure a quality education for the residents of Tompkins and Cortland Counties. The TC3 Foundation raises, invests, and administers private dollars to benefit Tompkins Cortland Community College, its students, and faculty and staff.
