Statements & Procedures
The Sandhills Legacy
Founded in 1969, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Foundation, Inc. was the first community college foundation in North Carolina. The Foundation ensures that donated funds are invested wisely and disbursed in ways that contribute to the ongoing excellence of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
Since 1963, when Mrs. Mary Luman Meyer gave the gift of 250 acres of land on Airport Road in Southern Pines, which created Â鶹ÊÓƵ, the college has been blessed and enriched by the private support of its students, programs, facilities, and capital needs. During the past four decades, Sandhills has achieved a level of excellence rare among American colleges, which has been made possible through the truly remarkable level of private support the college has received.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with Federal Tax Id Number 56-0946799.

Ensuring Opportunity
