Mission Statement
The Foundation exists to support the development of excellence in technical training and education. It does so by attracting and involving in this endeavor leaders from among the college's alumni and friends. The Foundation's primary efforts shall be directed toward attracting, receiving, investing, managing and expending gifts and other resources designated for the technical training programs of Valdosta Technical College.

Note from President Bridges
What is the “5 Days in October” Building the American Dream, One Student at a Time Campaign? The drive consists of annual contributions from friends of VTC. It is a solicitation effort to raise funds to support college program equipment needs and student emergency needs that are not covered by funds from the State of Georgia.

Why is it important to give? Your support is greatly needed to help Valdosta Tech fulfill its mission to train the workforce of Georgia. Providing students with the latest technology, financial assistance, and opportunities to help them reach their full potential is critical. Your gift assures that VTC will attract and retain the best students by furthering the quality of programs and services offered.

In addition, Ken Breeden, Georgia’s Commissioner of Technical and Adult Education, issued equipment matching grant challenge to VTCF to raise $200,000 by the end of 2003. So, every dollar you give will be matched by the State of Georgia up to $200,000. Participation in the annual campaign, regardless of the amount, is significant.

Can you restrict your annual gift to any area within the college? Yes. You may restrict your gift to a particular department or to the Student Assistance Fund.

What can you do? Build the American Dream! By making a gift you directly influence programs offered at VTC. I hope that you will consider joining other loyal supporters by making a contribution to the annual campaign and touching 10,000 lives.

Thank you,

James Bridges

2002 Campaign Results
The 2002 VTC Foundation Campaign was chaired by Calvin Marshall and was a huge success.

On behalf of the Campaign Team and Board of Trustees thank you to each and every donor. Contributions do make a tremendous impact on college programs and student lives.
