Allan Hancock College Foundation
The Allan Hancock College Foundation (AHC Foundation), an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been providing philanthropic support to the college for more than 40 years.
Created in 1977 by a group of community and business leaders, the foundation provides, on average, more than $1 million annually to support student scholarships, academic and vocational programs, and campus clubs.
In 2019 alone, more than $500,000 in scholarship funds were awarded to more than 400 students.
The Hancock Promise Fund is a new initiative to provide high school graduates within the service district of Allan Hancock College (AHC) the opportunity to get their first year free at the college. The AHC Foundation, with the philanthropic support of our community and Promise partners, launched a $10 million Hancock Promise campaign in the fall of 2017 creating an endowment, in perpetuity, that will ensure the first year is free at AHC.
