Northern College Foundation
When you contribute to the Northern College Foundation, you’re opening doors for students, many of whom couldn’t attend college without your support.
The Northern College Foundation is a fundraising department within the college that helps support students financially to succeed in studying and graduate from their program.
We promote the accomplishments of Northern College and the achievements of our students and graduates.
Each year, we provide exciting opportunities to create new student awards thanks to our generous donors and the hard work of our employees.
The Foundation captures our activities in year-end reports. Please take a look at the Foundation Report [PDF, 10.1 MB] to see how we’ve been changing the world with amazing people like you.

Ways to Support
There are many different ways you can get involved with the College and experience the rewarding feeling of making an impact.
In Our Communities
The College participates in many events and exciting initiatives throughout the year that help achieve our mission of building community in the North.
These feel-good events help boost the citizens’ spirit and allow for greater connection, creating a better quality of life in our region.
Feel free to join us and participate in these to build camaraderie and make a meaningful impact for no other reason than making all of us feel better about where we live and who we journey with.
Partnerships
Beyond awards for students and graduates, we foster a collaborative approach when partnering with individuals and organizations, enhancing community relations.
Some of these partnerships create entrepreneurial opportunities for students and support the development and enhancement of educational programs.
Working with the alumni relations department of the college, the Foundation supports networking opportunities between current students and alumni so that we can continue to grow our college and provide excellent post-secondary education in Northern Ontario.
This combines to keep employees in the North, where our graduates have rewarding careers that help grow our workforce and build strong communities.
The Bucket Shop shares many of the same values as Northern College and for this reason, we are a very proud partner that supports many of their initiatives.
We believe in the importance of diversity, community growth and equally value Indigenous partnerships and just how critically important they are to both of us.
We also support one and another on various training initiatives, projects, and funding applications. We are so very proud to provide Northern College students with placement and employment opportunities.
We can honestly say that we rely on Northern College to fulfill our workforce needs. The calibre of the graduates has been a tremendous asset to our environment.
We have hired many full-time employees and the job readiness gap was very small with only a minimal amount of additional training required to integrate them into our production environment.
We would like to thank and congratulate Northern College for their tremendous legacy projects we’ve been so proud to be a part of and we look forward to many future years of prosperity together.
