The FSCJ Foundation

Established in 1975, the FSCJ Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the officially designated means of making private, charitable contributions to Florida State College at Jacksonville.

Our purpose is to secure funding and cultivate community partnerships that empower FSCJ to fulfill the College’s mission: to create equitable, high quality, success-driven learning experiences for our diverse community of students.

We believe providing the opportunity of education, to those who can most benefit from it, is vital to our community’s future, and fuels the passion behind our work.
