See videos about WNC Foundation:
Western Nevada College has been deeply enriched by the generosity of many benefactors - people who have given time, talent and money. These investments have helped build a top quality college. WNC is dedicated to making positive differences in students' lives. In doing so, communities are enriched as qualified individuals take their place in the work force as engaged citizens.
No gift is too small to help keep WNC on the road to excellence. Private giving enhances Legislative funding to meet the special needs of the college and its students. You can participate with a general gift or donation designated for a special purpose at the college.
You can make the difference in providing for such needs as scholarships, support for the college Child Development Center, special equipment, support for an individual faculty project, or special projects such as the observatory or athletics.
The Foundation debuts a new concept for the annual Athletics Fundraiser this year.... a non-event. Because of the deep cuts to the state budgets, 2011-2012 is a critical year for WNC’s self-supported athletics program, and the Foundation needs to raise $215,000 to meet the travel and operating budgets for Wildcats baseball and softball student athletes.
