With state funding in dire straits, Las Positas College (LPC) in California is looking more toward private donations—specifically, sponsorships of courses.
Last week, LPC announced its new fund-raising program Foundation 55, which aims to seek donations to help restore class sections eliminated because of severe state funding cuts.
“For just $5,500, supporters can invest in the future of as many as 40 Las Positas College students for an entire semester,” LPC said in a news release.
