Palomar College Foundation

Palomar College Foundation is the focus of community support for Palomar's students and faculty.

Private gifts, donations, and other non-tax sources provide for scholarships, endowments, learning aids, technical equipment, and educational programs and services. Unrestricted gifts are especially welcome because they provide funds for use where the need is greatest or allow the Foundation to respond to unexpected opportunities.

💻✨ One laptop changed everything.

When Briana needed reliable technology to stay in school, the Palomar College Foundation provided an emergency laptop so she could continue her education without interruption.

For today's students, access to technology is essential. Thanks to our generous donors, Briana had the tools she needed to stay on track and keep moving toward her goals.

Your support does more than provide a laptop. It creates opportunity, hope, and a path to success. 💙☄️

🌱☄️ Transformational partnerships create transformational communities.

The Palomar College Foundation is incredibly grateful to for their generous $25,000 Impact Grant investment in our students and community.

This partnership is creating real change by supporting sustainability workforce training, improving water conservation at the Palomar College Arboretum, and providing emergency assistance to help students stay in school during difficult times.

Because of Hunter Industries, students are gaining opportunities, barriers are being removed, and our community is growing stronger and more sustainable for future generations. 💚
