The Indian River State College Foundation launched a $15 million fundraising campaign Nov. 5 for the college’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. The goal is to create an endowment intended to provide long-term financial support for Indian River State College Swimming and Diving. The Indian River State College District Board of Trustees will consider the future of the programs on Nov. 17.
How supporters can help
Alumni, families and other supporters can donate or volunteer through the official Indian River State College Foundation campaign. Gifts of any amount can count toward the fundraising goal when made through the Foundation, including monthly contributions of $10. Supporters can donate or sign up to volunteer at irsc.edu/support-athletics.
The first volunteer meeting is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6, at 10 a.m. in Room V110 on the Massey Campus in Fort Pierce. A virtual Zoom option will be available, and people who register for the meeting will receive the link by email.
Board review remains ahead
The campaign is intended to establish long-term financial support for the men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. However, contributions to the campaign do not guarantee that the programs will continue. The Indian River State College District Board of Trustees’ Nov. 17 consideration will address the future of the programs.
FSB Take
The campaign gives alumni, families and supporters a verified way to participate through donations or volunteer work. The Foundation’s $15 million goal is tied specifically to an endowment for Indian River State College Swimming and Diving, while only gifts made through the Foundation count toward that goal. The trustees’ Nov. 17 consideration remains an important next step because the campaign itself does not guarantee continuation of the programs.
