Continued from page 3 The TCAT Foundation is open to participation by all 27 TCATs, which can have accounts within the foundation. Currently, 23 TCATs participate. In addition, there are three accounts within the foundation for specific scholarships, an account for the Outstanding Student of the Year, an account for Skills USA, and a general account for the TCATs. Several TCATs accept donations of equipment and supplies that are not recorded through the TCAT Foundation, instead donations are made directly to the college. Some TCATs also have annual fundraising events to support the campus that are not processed through the TCAT foundation and not reflected in the TCAT fundraising numbers. TCAT Shelbyville has its own separate foundation. 4
GRANTS TO TBR COLLEGES IN FY 2017 This year is the first time TBR staff has collected campus and system grant information to present to the Board of Regents. Although usually earmarked for specific purposes, grants are an important source of external funding and the information is included to present a broader picture of external investment in our colleges and system. In FY 2017, the TBR system and its colleges were awarded almost $56 million in grants. These include grants from the state and federal governments, foundations, other organizations, and TBR grants to campuses that involve state dollars or federal Perkins funds. The community colleges were awarded over $34.7 million in grants during the fiscal year. Eight of the 13 community colleges were each awarded over $2 million in grants. The state was the largest funder of grants awarded to our institutions, followed by the federal government.
