About Us
The Three Rivers Community College Foundation, established in 1989 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, exists to independently support and enhance the mission of Three Rivers College across Butler, Wayne, Carter, and Ripley counties. Over the years, the Foundation has contributed more than $6.5 million in scholarships and campus projects, including the E.K. Porter Distance Learning Center, and continues to provide nearly $20,000 annually in scholarships to local students. Guided by a dedicated board of directors, the Foundation maintains its independent, non-political status, manages more than $1.6 million in assets, and operates from the Porter Building on TRC’s main campus to continue its long-standing tradition of strengthening educational opportunities in the region.
