Our Mission

Supporting Ellsworth Community College and 
Ellsworth Students through scholarships since 1958.
Ellsworth College Foundation, Supporting Ellsworth Students Since 1958 
At the Ellsworth College Foundation, our mission is simple yet powerful: To Support Ellsworth Community College Students through Scholarships—ensuring more students can pursue their goals, graduate with less debt, and build futures filled with opportunity.
Each year, thanks to the generosity of alumni, donors, and community partners, we provide over 150 scholarships to more than 300 students, totaling $250,000 annually. These awards open doors for students who are working hard to better their lives and contribute to our community. We proudly serve as the philanthropic partner for Friends of the Pat Clark Art Collection, E-Club (Athletics), and Ellsworth Community College.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, every gift to the Foundation is tax-deductible and directly impacts the lives of today’s Panthers and tomorrow’s leaders.
