The Foundation supports initiatives across Barton campuses to enhance equipment, facilities, programs, and projects to make Barton better. This support is available whenever a project at. The Foundation uses an open proposal system to identify and determine the fund matches.
The Foundation has set four areas of priority for open proposal funding consideration:
Academic Programs, Departments, and Divisions
As funds are available, consideration will be given to programs in the College's academic divisions. Requests from these areas must hold true educational/instructional value or go to support the purpose for which a restricted gifts donor has requested.
Culture and the Arts
The Foundation will consider requests which support culture and the arts, provided the event, activity, or item(s) is tied to an approved campus activity which supports education and/or instruction.
The Learning Resource Center
Requests from the Barton Learning Resource Center for acquisitions such as books, periodicals, and related materials and equipment will be considered by the Foundation.
Capital Projects
At the approval of the College President, and/or Board of Trustees, the Foundation assists with or actively raising funds for capital projects such as a new building, addition, or fixtures, furniture, or equipment.
