Sierra College Foundation

Hello fellow Sierra College Foundation Supporters! 

It is my privilege to continue to serve this great organization as president of the Board of Directors. I am extremely proud of our Board and the passion each member brings to this endeavor. We saw a record year that positively impacted so many students.

Here a few notable statistics from the 2024-25 academic year:

• 19,945 students enrolled
• 3,573 degrees and certificates awarded
• 153 degrees and 41 certificates offered
• More than 60 percent of Sierra College students are eligible for financial assistance
• Through the Student Assistance Fund Endowment (SAFE), SCF served nearly 10,000 students with $163,981 in funding for emergency housing, transportation, food, gas and more
• SCF awarded over $350,000 in scholarships
• SCF raised $142,886 through eTeam donations and the fall Golf Classic for Wolverine Athletics
• Supported nursing students with nearly $70,000 for materials, lab fees, books and supplies
• 5,500 students visited the food pantry at the Basic Needs Center
• SCF raised more than $400,000 at the President’s Circle Gala
• SCF raised nearly $2 million for the Endow-a-Bed Program for the college’s new affordable housing facility opening in 2026
• SCF was the recipient of $800,000 in monetary gifts from private trusts, Bosch Community Fund, the US Department of Commerce, Sutter Health and US Bank, to name a few

Those really are just the highlights — there is so much more that we’ve been able to do working with donors, friends, supporters and alumni like you. Thank you for supporting SCF.

We look forward to continued collaboration to support our Sierra College students who go on to impact our community as nurses, engineers, teachers, first responders and more. An investment in the Sierra College Foundation is an investment in Placer County. Thank you for your support.

All the best,

Ed Bonner
Sierra College Foundation President
