Ioannis Pashakis//November 12, 2020
Harrisburg Area Community College’s nonprofit foundation approved to allot $526,600 in private contributions to the Harrisburg-based college on Wednesday.
The funds, which were raised by the HACC foundation through both individual and organizational donors, will be used as follows:
• $351,000 to pay a portion of the 2020-21 annual debt service payment for renovations to the school’s Bruce E. Cooper Student Center, which were completed in 2017.
• $167,950 to subsidize the debt service for a bond for its Senator John J. Shumaker Public Safety Center. The center, which completed its first phase of construction in 2012, offers fire, EMS and law enforcement training.
• $7,650 to Phi Theta Kappa for its yearly funding and also to support conference travel for students and membership assistance for students in need of financial help.
“Funding provides high-performing students access to opportunities they would not normally receive,” the college wrote in a statement.
HACC is the largest of Pennsylvania’s 14 community colleges, offering 100 associate degree, certificate and diploma programs to approximately 17,000 students. The school’s nonprofit foundation was established in 1985 to raise private and corporate revenues for HACC.
