The Opportunity Circle
“Like many of you, I am successful today because people saw something in me and cared about my future—even when I wasn't sure about it myself. Every single one of us represents possibility to a person who might be struggling to see their own path forward. When we open the door for others – when we create opportunity – anything is possible.” - President George Timmons, Ph.D.
Creating opportunities for students to thrive is what our donors do best. Behind every gift is a story of dreams achieved thanks to the opportunities granted by those who came before us:
- A professor who opened our eyes to a new discipline
- An advisor who believed in us when we doubted ourselves
- A parent who sacrificed to make education possible
- A mentor who saw potential we didn't know we had
The President's Fund for Opportunity exists to ensure that our students are continuously inspired by the people, programs, and services that define the HCC experience. Fueling this work is essential to seeing our students thrive.
The Opportunity Circle is a special community of donors whose $1,000 gifts create immediate, life-changing impact. As a member of this distinguished group, you join a powerful cycle of transformation—where your leadership-level support not only opens doors for today's students but connects you to a meaningful tradition of opportunity-makers.
We invite you to share your own inspiring story of the opportunities that shaped your journey. Whether it was a scholarship that made college possible, a program that launched your career, or a mentor who changed your perspective, your story becomes part of our collective narrative.
Together, our gifts, stories, and collective impact create an unbreakable circle—where today's recipients become tomorrow's opportunity-makers, ensuring that the transformative power of education continues to ripple forward for generations to come.
Your $1,000 investment doesn't just change a student's trajectory—it strengthens the very foundation upon which dreams are built.
