Our Mission: Helping students launch their future
The Fullerton College Foundation was founded in 1959 as an independent auxiliary to raise funds for Fullerton College (in the future referred to as “the College”). In 2021, after several difficult years, starting with the Great Recession and ending with COVID, the Friends of Fullerton College Foundation (in the future referred to as “Friends”) took over in a full partnership with Fullerton College as the successor agency for college fundraising. All assets came to the new foundation.
