Guiding Principals
North Hennepin Community College Foundation takes pride in their guiding principles:

  1. To steward the resources entrusted to our care;
  2. To provide opportunities to individuals who might not otherwise be able to attend college;
  3. To invest wisely and conservatively;
  4. To partner with the college to meet its mission in the community;
  5. To honor the privacy of our donors and friends.

With your help and participation, the NHCC Foundation will be able to:

  • Award over $100,000 in scholarships to students, enabling them to begin or continue their college education
  • “Buy down” the cost of MTC bus passes and Metro mobility transportation passes for students, providing access
  • Provide students with undergraduate research opportunities in STEM and other fields

 
This is what the Foundation has been up to...
Visit the Foundation Events page for more details about all the fun and rewarding events going on all year. Some notes about our most recent fundraising events:

Thanks to our 2011 Golf Committee for all their hard work and dedication. It certainly paid off as our 3rd Annual Golf Tournament was a huge success. The weather was beautiful and it was a fun-filled day with all profits going towards student scholarships.

The Foundation also hosted its 2nd Annual Bowling Tournament on April 28th, 2011. Thanks to all that supported the event through bowling, volunteering, and/or cheering. The money raised will be put towards students in need of daycare support. A big “shout-out” to Julie Zieminski and her organizing group for putting it all together.

Our largest yearly event, the Dinner Auction Gala, was held on April 8th, 2011. We want to thank all those who attended, contributed, volunteered, etc… “Dream Upon a Star” was a fun and memorable evening that greatly helped increase scholarship opportunities for NHCC Students. To view the event, visit 2011 Dinner Gala photos.  

The date is set for our 29th Annual Gala! Help us change student lives by attending our Gala on April 20th, 2012 at Edinburgh USA in Brooklyn Park.
