League Reaffirmation - Johnson County Community College

Fund raising
At the conclusion of its four­yearlong
capital campaign in September
2007, the JCCC Foundation
surpassed its goal of $15 million
by raising $20.2 million to support
construction, scholarships, programs
and events, faculty and curriculum
at the college.
This was the first time in the college’s
history that JCCC asked for private
dollars to help fund construction at
the college, specifically the Regnier
Center and the Nerman Museum
of Contemporary Art. The campaign
also helped students pay for classes
and buy books, and supported
programs and events on campus
and college faculty and curriculum.
“The campaign succeeded because of the
collective effort of nearly every department
on campus, as countless members of the
college family ‘stepped up’ when needed
to help with prospective donors. They say it
takes a village to raise a child; well, at JCCC,
it took a campus to successfully execute a capital campaign.
Ultimately, the campaign created so much philanthropic energy
that it positively influenced all areas of fund raising. For the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, every fiscal measurement
achieved an all­time high as annual revenues total more than
$6.6 million, the endowment reached $14.6 million and total
assets hit $24.5 million.”
