Accordingly, the Members of the Board are dedicated to pursuing alternative support for the College through grants, direct investments, and in-kind gifts from local businesses, industries and individuals.The basic cost of a California community college education is a remarkable bargain for students wishing to prepare for transfer to a four-year institution or for those who want career technical instruction. Class fees for residents are just $46 per credit. In actuality, however, the true actual and emotional costs of higher education must also include child care, transportation, and lost work and family time. Far and away the most easily quantified additional costs are for supplies, principally textbooks. A single text often costs in excess of $100 and can exceed $400. Sadly, these "extra" costs can force some students to attempt to take classes without a textbook or, worse, drop out of college. Making scholarships available to Las Positas College students is critical to their success. Each year the Las Positas College Foundation makes grants available to students based on need and/or academic achievement. Scholarships are most often offered to any student who qualifies but some are focused on special types of students. The most compelling cohort of the latter group is returning veterans - a population that has shown remarkable growth in the past several years.Beyond direct aid to students in the form of scholarships, The Las Positas College Foundation supports a broad array of programs that enhance the learning and collegiate experience of its students and ability of its faculty to be more effective. Examples of these other types of support are:Literary and Performing Arts:-LPC Express student newspaper -Campus and Community focused Literary Magazine, Anthology and feature magazine, Naked-Theater Performances of Drama, Dance and Music -Black History Month Art Exhibition-Award winning Speech and Debate TeamAthletics:-Awarded $10,000 in scholarship awards to deserving male & female student athletes on LPC Basketball teams Teaching and Learning Initiatives:-Staff Development -Faculty Enriched Programs -Student Government Textbook Loaner Program-Continued support for Math Jam, Sandia Science Bowl, and collaboration with Umoja and Puente learning communities.Emerging Science Programs: -Sandia Science Bowl -Collaboration with Puente program STEM projectsScholarships: One of the primary missions of the Foundation is to provide scholarships. To date over $900,000 has been awarded. This year the Foundation offers the new Mertes Scholarships for Performing Arts, Valley Care and Athletics. Performing Arts: The performing arts program and Las Positas College is support by the Foundation through Cycle Grants and special fundraising, including providing Applied Music Lessons to help students complete this graduation requirement. Scholarships are provided for performing arts students continuing to a four-year college. Veteran Student Support: The Foundation strongly supports veterans enrolled at LPC. The Veterans Resource Center provides wrap-around services such as textbook and laptop programs, tutoring, scholarship assistance, counseling and help with jobs and housing. The Foundation assists with the coordination of the Cycling 4 Veterans event, raising over $30,000 for campus and community veteran support programs.Tutoring: The award-winning LPC Math Jam program helps students reach their goals and is offered at no cost. The Foundation also supports the RAW Center, for student assistance in reading and writing. Textbook Assistance: The Foundation supports a free textbook rental program to help students reduce the cost of college attendance. Athletics: Two scholarships are designated for male and female students in the basketball program. Teaching and Learning Initiatives: The Foundation provides funding for innovative teaching and learning projects to the faculty and staff of Las Positas College. These Grants provide support for student success, teaching and learning effectiveness and campus community development. Emerging Science Programs: The Foundation works with the community laboratories to enhance science education through events such as the Science and Engineering Seminar Series and the Sandia Science Bowl for middle school students. Support for Students with Children: The Foundation provides scholarships for children of Las Positas College students to attend the LPC Early Childhood Development Center. Parents can reach their educational goals knowing their children are in a high quality preschool program. 353534 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X The Organization 9254241014 3000 Campus Hill Drive Livermore CA 945517623 Martha Sutton Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephanie Beasly Immediate Past Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Roanna Bennie Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lori Souza Vice Chair, Events 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Eduardo Salaz Vice Chair, Board Development 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Ott Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Bono Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ralph Kokka Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Seppala Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Lancaster Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lecia Roundtree Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Cooper Executive Director 40.00 X 73010 73554 13055 73010 73554 13055 0 0 1 0 0 114218 302235 34111 416453 Textbook loan fees 611710 105 105 105 333253 333253 534382 491040 43342 43342 43342 36520 114218 29655 6865 6865 800018 105 0 383460 X 21533 21533 139899 139899 73010 14602 25553 32855 23345 350 22995 31638 4575 16769 10294 150 150 4246 4246 45511 45511 63246 43666 19580 9554 7015 2539 20035 17077 1440 1518 23831 19331 4500 2300 2300 10945 9325 1620 10016 8572 1339 105 585 585 Events 75071 75071 Other expenses 9865 4781 5033 51 Bank charges 6534 522 431 5581 571314 353534 160337 57443 160887 442777 8230483 100250 100000 1948 2787 8500138 8493568 9045702 162623 113699 10735 162623 124434 X 68744 85320 1110648 1684395 7151553 7151553 8330945 8921268 8493568 9045702 228704 361619 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 927947 495341 942437 6982033 416453 9764211 927947 495341 942437 6982033 416453 9764211 278958 9485253 24169 34054 38890 86094 410510 593717 13678 5391 105 19174 10377102 0.91410 0.94870 X 7281883 654093 20766 69939 7845271 314369 6850000 117514 7281883 335494 4251 -25376 314369 344025 4491 -13022 335494 306425 4318 33282 344025 0.92000 0.08000 1 0 0 X 1198292 361619 7000 29655 398274 800018 0 800018 607969 7000 29655 36655 571314 0 571314 Part V, Line 4: The Foundation participates in the California Community Colleges Scholarship Program through the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC). This program challenged community colleges and their related foundations to raise additional contributions to be designated as part of a permanent endowment for the FCCC's Osher Scholarship Endowment. At June 30, 2018, $40,696 and $301,553 were held as temporary and permanently restricted net assets, respectively. These funds are not in the possession of the organization and are being held by the Foundation for California Community Colleges. In 2017, the Foundation received a bequest from the Mertes Family Trust. The funds were used to establish three Mertes scholarship endowments to offer scholarships to students in the Allied Health Field, Performing Arts, and also to offer scholarships to students transferring to four-year institutions with any major. As of June 30, 2018, $653,022 and $6,850,000 were held by the Organzation as temporary and permanently restricted net assets, respectively. Part X, Line 2: Each year management considers whether any material tax position the Foundation has taken is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Management believes that any positions the Foundation had taken are supported by substantial authority and, hence, do not need to be measured or disclosed in the finanical statments.
