The Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Legacy

Founded in 1969, the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Foundation, Inc. was the first community college foundation in North Carolina. The Foundation ensures that donated funds are invested wisely and disbursed in ways that contribute to the ongoing excellence of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø.

Since 1963, when Mrs. Mary Luman Meyer gave the gift of 250 acres of land on Airport Road in Southern Pines, which created Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, the college has been blessed and enriched by the private support of its students, programs, facilities, and capital needs. During the past four decades, Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø has achieved a level of excellence rare among American colleges, which has been made possible through the truly remarkable level of private support the college has received.

The Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with Federal Tax Id Number 56-0946799.

"To me, this CDL program was much more than just a class. It taught me so much, and has opened so many doors for me, and given me opportunities I never could have dreamed of, or thought would ever be possible for me…Without your generous contributions I would not be standing here...and none of this would have ever been obtainable for me... Your kindness was nothing short of a true blessing to me."
