The Spirit of CC Annual Fund offsets the "tuition gap" between what the actual cost per student that attends CC and the tuition rate. Currently, that gap is around $2,000 per student offset by our Annual Fund each year.
The Annual Fund covers our operating budget items each year like classroom supplies, utilities costs, extracurricular travel costs...etc. This fund could be thought of as CC's "Checking" account and is the fastest way to make an immediate difference for our students.
