The Arizona Western College Foundation mission is to supplement conventional funding streams at Arizona Western College in order to provide superior higher educational opportunities, which will continually open doors for our community service district.

The AWC Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization established in 1963 to enhance and support student learning at AWC. The AWC Foundation is the sole, official fundraising and private gift-receiving agency for the college. It oversees the distribution of Foundation scholarship awards, assists with the establishment of gifts and administers over forty scholarships in support of current and future AWC students.

A volunteer Board of Directors composed of business and industry representatives, community leaders, alumni and foundation employees provide vision, strategic planning and leadership for the AWC Foundation.
