GRC Foundation: FAST FACTS
Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.
Our Fast Facts page offers a snapshot of the impact we’re making together. Behind each statistic is a real person, a real dream, and a real future being built right here in our community.
Every number tells a story — of a student who stayed enrolled because of emergency support, of a scholar who crossed the graduation stage debt-lighter, of a donor who believed in the power of education to change a life.
We invite you to explore the highlights, celebrate the milestones, and see how generosity fuels opportunity at Green River College.
Foundation Mission
Increasing Access:
In 2025, we awarded approx. 350 scholarships, averaging $2,100 each, to support tuition, books, and fees; both merit and financial need. Scholarship Applications open Feb - April and Sept.

Retention-Student Assistance:
In FY 2024–2025, the Gator Pledge emergency funding provided immediate emergency aid of $20–$1,000 to students facing unexpected financial challenges. 82% completed the quarter, and 87% enrolled in subsequent quarters.
Building Capacity and Flexibility:
Thanks to the philanthropic support of donors, Campus Corner Apartments, Kennelly Commons, the Zgolinski Building, and the Enumclaw Campus became realities. Unrestricted gifts and a strong endowment provide flexible funding that empowers the college to meet the future with confidence and vision.
