The Rogue Community College (RCC) Foundation Board has approved an unprecedented $650,000 investment to support programs at the college amid significant financial uncertainty for higher education in Oregon.

In November, Oregon’s Legislative Fiscal Office warned state agencies to get ready for possible budget cuts in the 2025–27 budget cycle because of a projected shortfall. For Rogue Community College, that could mean losing about $1.25 million a year.

Funding from the RCC Foundation is meant to help soften that blow. The support would help keep programs running, protect jobs this year, and maintain access to education for students across Southern Oregon.
