The ECC Foundation is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), tax-exempt organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. Since 1984, the Foundation has provided private financial support to ECC students and college programs, thanks to numerous donations from generous individuals, families and businesses.
