Few Institutions Impact Lives and Local Economies like Bladen Community College

Bladen Community College changes lives—especially those facing the greatest challenges. Our graduates go on to become teachers, technicians, nurses, and community leaders. Every dollar given to BCC creates lasting impact—an investment with lifelong returns.

Historically funded by public support and tuition, community colleges now face rising costs, enrollment shifts, and reduced government funding. As a result, colleges like BCC are increasingly relying on their foundations to maintain excellence and access.

The Bladen Community College Foundation offers flexible giving options. You can contribute to the general fund or choose to support a specific scholarship, program, or naming opportunity.

Whether restricted or unrestricted, your gift helps us meet critical needs and empower students to succeed. To give, visit the “Donate” link on the BCC website.

We invite you to explore how your support can make a lasting difference at Bladen Community College.
