2011 legislative session were impressive, with the<br />
successful passage of all legislation championed by<br />
the LCTCS.<br />
• A $25,000 grant was awarded to <strong>Louisiana</strong> Delta<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> to provide a salary match<br />
to hire staff for the college foundation in order to<br />
increase private fundraising capacity.<br />
• The Foundation solicits <strong>and</strong> manages funds for<br />
LCTCS colleges that do not have foundations.<br />
Over $1.5 million was received to support college<br />
programs, establish new endowments, provide<br />
student scholarships, <strong>and</strong> fund new facility<br />
construction in 2010-2011.<br />
The past five years have been a dynamic time of growth<br />
for both the LCTCS <strong>and</strong> the LCTCS Foundation. The<br />
Foundation’s Board of Directors <strong>and</strong> staff wish to thank the many donors who have supported these important<br />
initiatives. Together, we are changing <strong>Louisiana</strong> by creating vibrant <strong>and</strong> growing two-year colleges. The<br />
private investment of corporations <strong>and</strong> individuals is beginning to change the face of LCTCS colleges <strong>and</strong><br />
lifting them to a new level of excellence. The workforce of tomorrow begins with today’s community <strong>and</strong><br />
technical colleges. Let’s keep building together!<br />
Thank you!<br />
