2024 Annual Giving Campaign
Because of employee donors, the Foundation is able to support student, faculty, and staff success through scholarships, emergency assistance, and programmatic support. Participation in this program demonstrates that we value and believe in the impact we make not only throughout Clover Park Technical College, but also in our communities through investing in both ourselves and our students. Throughout the next five years our employee giving campaign will mirror the goals set forth in CPTC’s strategic plan, beginning with building a Community of Care.
