2013–14 PCC FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT
AN EDUCATION FROM PORTLAND COMMUNITY
College is a bridge to a bright future. But for many
low-income and first-generation college students,
there’s a river of obstacles between them and their
dreams of getting an education.
With your support, the PCC Foundation has been
helping students get to the other side. This past year,
gifts to the Foundation have built bridges linking students to opportunities, our college to the business
community, and current PCC students to our growing network of alumni.
The PCC Foundation would like to thank you for
creating crossings and connections for our students.
In this report, you’ll have a chance to meet a few
of these amazing students whose lives have been
changed by your philanthropy.
The PCC Foundation is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to enriching lives and strengthening our
region through support of education. Our vision is
that all students have access to an excellent education at PCC and the support needed to succeed,
regardless of their ability to pay.
THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS
DEAR PCC FRIENDS,
It’s been a momentous year for PCC —
one filled with the accomplishments of
our 90,000 students at four regional campuses and 14 centers, connecting across
five counties and spanning both sides of
the Willamette.
One of PCC’s model programs, Future
Connect, has served 900 students, the
majority being the first in their family to
pursue higher education. Future Connect
is boasting an 85 percent retention rate
for recent high school graduates, who
receive a guaranteed scholarship upon
entering PCC as well as intensive advising and coaching. It is thanks to you —
PCC Foundation donors hailing from
near and far — that we can offer our students life-changing programs such as
Future Connect.
Your support builds bridges of opport unit y for st udents in need at PCC,
Oregon’s largest institution of higher
education. The PCC Foundation is here,
working to grow philanthropy and open
doors for PCC students and programs
to achieve success in powerful ways. In
academic year 2014–15, the PCC Foundation will award one million in scholarship
dollars, the highest amount in its 32-year
history. We applaud and thank you for
helping to reduce the financial loan burdens that students carry.
As almost half of PCC students are
on financial aid, donor support makes a
deep, positive impact on students’ educational experiences.
Across our campuses and centers,
construction on new buildings and
renovations have taken place, providing
top-notch facilities and state-of-the-art
classrooms and labs plus productive and
safe learning environments. This year the
PCC Foundation is reaching out to our 1.3
million alumni, to invite them to visit our
new campus facilities, engage them in the
work of the college, and give back to current PCC students. It’s truly an exciting
time for PCC!
As you read the donor and student stories in this report, we hope you’re inspired
to start conversations about PCC within
your community. We also encourage you
to share your personal story of giving by
emailing us at [email protected].
On behalf of the PCC Foundation and
the entire college, we thank you for being
a bridge to opportunity for our students
this past year, and we hope, in the years
to come. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Portland Community College President Jeremy Brown
and 2013–14 PCC Foundation Board President Dick Stenson.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
Building bridges for low-income
and first-generation students
Future Connect puts students on the path to college
WHEN KESIA TOSH ISN’T STUDYING
aeronautical engineering, writing short
fiction, or getting lost in an old-school
vampire novel, she’s taking care of her six
younger brothers and sisters. The second
year Future Connect student is the first
in her family to attend college and is happy to be back at school this fall. “All my
brothers and sisters are super proud of
me,” she said.
PCC’s groundbreaking Future Connect Scholarship Prog ram currently
provides scholarships, academic support,
and one-on-one mentoring to more than
600 low-income and first-generation college students in Portland, Beaverton and
Hillsboro, students who — like Kesia —
would not be able to attend college without this life-changing opportunity.
Future Connect is a remarkably successful program with a student retention
rate of 85 percent, compared to a 20-percent rate for low-income, first-generation
students with strong academic performance who are not enrolled in the pro-
gram. Future Connect students this year
have gone on to transfer to Lewis & Clark,
OSU, PSU, University of Utah, University
of Houston and WSU-Vancouver.
Launched in 2011 as a partnership
between PCC and the City of Portland
to assist students in Multnomah County,
today Future Connect also works with
students in the Hillsboro and Beaverton
School Districts in Washington County.
This growth is made possible because of
the generous gifts of many donors, one of
the most pivotal being a 2012 grant from
the Meyer Memorial Trust in the amount
of $300,000 over three years.
“Meyer Memorial Trust is a significant funder of PCC’s Future Connect
because this program actively promotes
equity and access for our region’s students and communities of color,” said
Doug Stamm, CEO of the Meyer Memorial Trust. “Future Connect targets students from communities that have been
historically underrepresented in higher
education, helping them succeed at a
moment in their lives when the power of
education can open worlds of opportunity. We applaud this innovative collaboration, which is raising the bar on equity
throughout our region.”
The Meyer Memorial Trust grant
came with a unique matching challenge.
This call for support has been invaluable
to Future Connect and has helped expand its impact in Washington County.
The Reser Family Foundation stepped
up in the name of opportunity, making a
$20,000 gift to support the expansion of
this key program in Washington County.
“The Reser Family Foundation supports Future Connect as it provides
educational opportunity and access to
Washington County’s underserved students, while helping ensure businesses
have a qualified workforce to meet the
demands of Oregon’s 21st century economy,” said Reser Family Foundation Director and PCC Foundation Board Member Marty Reser.
Future Connect students Daniel Rico
and Kesia Tosh get ready for the new school year.
Future Connect has
been phenomenal
for me. It’s shown me
so many possibilities.
I’m the first in my
family to go to
college, but it really
doesn’t feel like it
because I have a
whole family here.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
Expanding possibilities
between vision and creation
Students’ ideas come alive in PCC’s MakerSpace
WITH 3D PRINTERS AND SCANNERS ,
CNC machines, lasers, vinyl cutters, sheet
metal tools, a plastic injection molder and
even a sewing machine, the PCC Sylvania
Campus MakerSpace is a workshop for
the 21st century craftsman. Students come
to this space with an idea and within a
matter of hours can have a physical model
of their creative vision in their hands.
The possibilities here are limitless.
PCC students have recently used the
space to laser cut a custom design into
a handmade axe sheathe, a rubber sole
for a custom shoe, and a to-scale 3D
model of the human heart. Jordan Nickerson, a 23-year-old computer science
student born without a hand, used the
MakerSpace to create a working prosthetic limb for himself. This project was
so successful that he’s now planning to
create his own business supplying af-
fordable, custom-made prosthetics to
low-income individuals.
Additional MakerSpaces have begun
to show up at other PCC campuses since
the Sylvania space opened in January
thanks to a $20,000 capacity-building
grant from Intel awarded last fall.
Intel’s support of the college’s science and engineering mentorships has
enhanced programs like PCC Summer
Robotics and Wearable Tech Camps that
encourage K–12 students to play, imagine and innovate using MakerSpace tools.
“Our research and experience show
that students become more engaged in
science, technology, engineering and
math when they are learning by doing.
The new MakerSpaces provide a multitude of resources for students to get
critical, hands-on experience. That’s
very exciting,” said Janet Rash, Intel’s
Northwest Region Community Engagement Manager.
Despite a wall of printers and the
f loor-to-ceiling shelves stacked with
plastic pellets, wire and balsa wood,
the Sylvania MakerSpace is more than
just a storehouse for equipment and
tools for making. A supportive space
where students work collaboratively
with peer mentors and faculty members to help them shape their ideas, the
MakerSpace’s greatest product is confident, capable students.
“The Maker Movement fosters problem solving, collaboration and critical
thinking — 21st century skills that are in
high demand for today’s employers. Not
only will the students who come here
feel more connected to their classes
and their interests, they will be getting
real-world education,” Rash said.
Jordan Nickerson tinkers on a new project
with MakerSpace mentor Eric Thomas.
Everyone in the
MakerSpace wants
to create something.
They want to
change something.
You walk in there
and someone’s
creating something
new or designing
something new that
the world has never
seen before.

SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT
Making the mark
PCC Foundation awards $1,000,000 in
scholarships — our biggest year yet!
LAST Y EA R THE PCC FOUNDATION
set the ambitious goal of awarding
one million dollars in scholarships to
students in need. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve reached this important
milestone. In the 2014–15 academic
year, we’ll award scholarships to nearly
1,000 PCC students — that’s 10 percent
more than last year!
We ’re g iv i ng out more schola rships than ever before, but we’re also
seeing a huge uptick in the number of
applications received. The more students look to scholarships for support,
the less they’ll have to rely on student
loans to finance their education.
Ma ny of t he schola rsh ips we ’l l
award this year will be set aside for
first-generation, low-income students
through PCC’s Future Connect Scholarship Program. Other scholarships
will be awarded based on merit, academic interest or student background.

All of our donors and sponsors help
to create a myriad of opportunities
for our students whose diverse backg rounds, interests and experiences
add to our PCC community. With your
continued support, we can ensure that
more of t hese st udents receive t he
support they need to find their path —
wherever it may take them.
FACULTY GIVING PROFILE
Speaking the

ESOL instructors join forces
to keep students on track
W HILE THE COST OF A WOR K BOOK
should never be a barrier for a student
who wants to learn, paying for supplies
and fees can be a major challenge for
many ESOL (English for Speakers of
Other Languages) students who don’t
qualify for federal student aid, says longtime PCC instructor Nancy Winbigler.
“A lot of our ESOL teachers were
just stepping up and buying students
the books they needed. So I thought
it would be better if we pooled our resources and made some sort of collection
of books to lend out to our students,”
Winbigler said.
Over the past four years, ESOL faculty on all four PCC campuses have come
together to raise money to cover fees and
supplies for students at risk of dropping
out. They started organizing jewelry
and book sales, hosting an annual talent
show — and even selling snacks at their

night classes, all to raise money for deserving students.
“I know a lot of students who would not
still be here if they hadn’t gotten access to
this kind of support,” Winbigler said.
The ESOL faculty’s efforts have supported lending libraries for student
textbooks as well as four full scholarship funds designed to help students in
upper-level ESOL classes transition into
regular PCC credit courses such as college writing. Faculty are also working
on creating an endowed fund for these
scholarships. Motivated by a matching
gift challenge, they are even more inspired knowing that their contributions
to this fund will be doubled.
“We hope these scholarships will serve
as an incentive for students who start
with us at the lowest levels of language
classes and stick with it,” Winbigler said.
“We want our students to aim high.”
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
Investing in
our future
Diamond Alum says it’s the
students who inspire her to give back
ACCOMPLISHED CPA AND SELF-MADE
financial professional Cheryl Burgermeister (‘73) knows a good investment
when she sees one. That’s why she’s
given back to PCC as both a donor and
Foundation Board member for years.
“Seeking a higher education degree is
one of the best things someone can do,”
Burgermeister said. “I’m a huge believer
in PCC.”
A longtime PCC Foundation board
member, Cheryl has the reputation of a
wise investor whose experience sitting
on several well-respected mutual fund
boards has become a valuable asset to
the college.
Before building a career in finance,
Cheryl studied radiology technology at
PCC and served as chief technologist in
the radiology department of Providence
Hospital. Although she ultimately ended
up switching careers, she says that earning a degree from PCC gave her the confidence she needed to branch out and try
something new.
To honor her roots in radiology and
help students on their own journeys of
exploration, Cheryl set up an endowed
memorial scholarship for her late husband, George, to support students pursuing careers in radiology.
As one of the 2014 Diamond Alumni Award honorees, Cheryl is a shining
example of the transformative power
of education. The PCC Foundation is
proud to share her story as we honor the
achievements of our 1.3 million alumni.
A longtime friend and supporter of the college, Cheryl Burgermeister (‘73)
also donates her time as the PCC Foundation secretary and treasurer.
FOUNDATION EVENTS
Annual gala gets a mod makeover
An Evening for Opportunity raises $300,000 for student success!
MORE THAN 500 FRIENDS,
supporters and community members
busted out their go-go boots and skinny
ties for the PCC Foundation’s modthemed gala at the Portland Marriott
this past May. The décor and music
were a nod to the energy and optimism
of the 1960s British Invasion, the era in
which PCC was founded.
Thanks to the incredible generosity
of our guests and sponsors, the third
annual An Evening for Opportunity
raised more than $300,000 to build
scholarships and student success
initiatives for PCC students.
Thank you gala sponsors!

I would like to thank you for this opportunity
to further my education. This round of classes
will bring me a year closer to my goal of becoming
a Physician Associate. Without your altruism,
I would be in the position of having to split my
focus and attention between studies and paying
for college. You have given me the mental space
to concentrate my total efforts on my studies.
This can only lead me to becoming the best PA
I can possibly be.

received the award letter, and I can’t wait to tell
everyone about it. The scholarship is such a big
help to me and will go to great use to help pay
for college so I can do what I love.

As an incoming freshman to PCC, this scholarship
means that I am one step closer to figuring out
exactly what I want to do, career-wise, for the rest
of my life. Receiving this scholarship allows me and
my family to worry a little less about the financial
aspect of furthering my education and lets me focus
more on finding the right career.

This award means a great deal to me and my
family. It will provide me the opportunity to focus
on my school work without having to worry about
paying for tuition. Anyone that has gone through
nursing school can tell you that it is a massive
challenge to go through this program and hold
down a full-time job. I have a family to provide
for and without your generosity it would be
that much harder.

Financial outlook
2013–14
PCC FOUNDATION’S TOTAL SUPPORT
and revenues in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2014 (FY 2014) grew by 25 percent over the prior year, totaling over
$4.38 million. This included more than
$1 million in investment income on our
investment portfolio, an 80 percent
increase when compared to last year.
New in-kind contributions — including
a jet engine for our aviation program —
demonstrated strong support from
the community to support programs
and departments.
PCC Foundation’s total expenses
for FY 2014 included scholarships and
programs, along with supporting services and investment fees. Foundation
revenues provided nearly $1.6 million
in PCC scholarships and program as-
sistance, including funding for STEM
initiatives, such as an All-Girls Summer
Robotics Camp and the expansion of
the PCC Future Connect Scholarship
Program to Washington County.
During FY 2014, PCC Foundation’s net
assets grew by more than $1.66 million
to over $12 million. Further, the Foundation’s endowment and affiliated net
accumulated earnings accounts grew by
20 percent during the year to over $6.6
million. In the last three years through
the work of the PCC Foundation and
generosity of our donors, net assets and
endowed funds have increased by almost
thirty percent. Our heartfelt thanks goes
out to you, our committed donors. Together we are making opportunity happen for PCC students across our region!

A large part of my ability to succeed at PCC is because of the
generosity of others. As a future nurse, I look forward to giving back to
others just as you have given to me, as I know first-hand how vital it is.
