San Bernardino Valley College Foundation hits $500,000 Scholarship Goal Early
The San Bernardino Valley College Foundation has hit an extraordinary goal — three years ahead of schedule.
As part of its 5-year strategic plan, the SBVC Foundation set a target of being able to award at least $500,000 in student scholarships annually. This spring, the nonprofit organization reached that goal early, thanks to interest accrued from its endowment, grants, donations, and events.
"Investment account earnings over the past two years were substantial," SBVC Foundation Director Mike Layne said. "Our endowment, through Bank of America: US Trust, grew from $3.9 million a little over two years ago to nearly $5.5 million at the end of December 2021. The interest accrued is what drives most of our scholarship awards. Individual donors and planned giving also help grow the size of our endowment."
Recent generous gifts from the community include $373,000 from the estate of Chuck Obershaw and $24,000 from the estate of Scott Fruchter.
"All of these planned giving contributions help grow the size of our endowment, which we hope to grow to $10-$20 million over the next 10 years," Layne said. "In order to grow our endowment to a level where it needs to be to help us continue to meet the scholarship and program needs of our students, we need more people in the community to consider us as a part of their estate planning. In doing so, these donors will demonstrate their commitment to excellence in higher education by establishing a lasting legacy."
SBVC Foundation scholarships are exclusively for San Bernardino Valley College students to assist them on their educational journeys. For the first time this year, the Foundation was able to award the Charles Obershaw Scholarship to 30 students, with each individual receiving $1,000; previously, just two $500 scholarships were awarded. Through funds from the Inland Empire Community Foundation, 54 students received the Molly Adams Scholarship and 20 students were given the Community Foundation Scholarship.
In recent years, the SBVC Foundation received major grants from the Finish Line Scholars Program via the Pritzker Foundation ($120,000), Southern California Edison ($30,000), and SoCal Gas ($20,000), and the organization is continually looking to establish new public and private sector partnerships.
For more information on how to support the SBVC Foundation through planned giving or public/private sector sponsorships, or to secure your spot as a sponsor of the 100th Anniversary Gala, please contact SBVC Foundation Director Mike Layne at 909-384-8987 or mlayne@valleycollege.edu.
