For the last 50 years, Peralta Colleges Foundation in partnership with Peralta Community College District: Laney College, Merritt College, College of Alameda, and Berkeley City College, have partnered to raise the funds necessary to remove financial barriers to the success of under-resourced students through a year-end appeal.

Did you know 71% of Peralta College District students are first-generation college students and 49% reported an income of less than $20,000 annually. Peralta students need our help.

Last year, we raised $315,000 for scholarships. This year, we are launching the Building Brighter Futures Giving Campaign to do even more.The Foundation receives 20% of its resources from individual donors. We want to increase that by 25% this year. Partner with us.

Join us as we provide hope and help to the most vulnerable students among us.
