"We seek participation from throughout our service area to build on the success and strength of our Foundation Board of Directors while expanding its breadth and depth," said Michael Hageloh, Interim Vice President of Institutional Advancement. "We invite all who share our vision of making access to education ubiquitous to apply and help Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ achieve our goal of meeting 100 percent of qualified need."

Since 1965, the Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ Foundation has enhanced access and quality of education for Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ students by providing student scholarships, supporting instructional programs, supplying technology grants, and raising money for new and improved facilities. The Foundation attracts and manages private contributions from individuals, organizations, businesses, and private foundations to support Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ's mission. It is a private non-profit entity recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and by the State of Florida as a direct-support organization for the benefit of Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ.

The Foundation is a direct support organization (DSO) managed by a voluntary Board of Directors comprised of business and civic leaders representing the four counties in the College's service district: Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie. Foundation directors receive no compensation for their services on the board. Board membership shall reflect diversity in geography and donor representation and bring the expertise, business skills, visibility and vision needed to govern the Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ Foundation.

Those interested in serving on the Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ Foundation board should send a letter of interest, a résumé and professional references with email addresses and telephone numbers to Susan O'Brien, Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ Foundation, 3209 Virginia Avenue Room A-134, Fort Pierce, Florida, 34981 or by email at sobrien@irsc.edu.
