The Foundation for Florida Gateway College has announced its 3rd Annual Giving Day Experience Auction, set to run from Monday, November 11, 2025, through Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The campaign aims to raise $140,001 to support scholarships, student programs, and campus initiatives, providing the community with an opportunity to invest in student success.
The Foundation invites alumni, friends, and supporters to take three impactful actions: give directly to the Foundation at www.fgc.edu/give, bid on exclusive experiences in the online auction at atfgc.winningbidder.com/event, or establish a new endowment. Thanks to generous matching opportunities, any general scholarship or general vocational scholarship endowment starting at $12,500 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, instantly becoming a $25,000 fund. Many donors choose to honor or memorialize loved ones through these meaningful gifts.
“We believe students should have every opportunity to attend Florida Gateway College regardless of their financial situation,” said Rebecca Golden, Director of Resource Development at the Foundation. “So we build relationships with YOU, with companies, with anyone who shares the passion for helping Florida Gateway College students.”
This year's auction features a diverse array of exciting items, including a flight experience with a military fighter pilot in a vintage warbird aircraft, luxurious travel vacation packages at local and international destinations, an Ultimate Pro Sports Fan Getaway package, handcrafted goods, and much more.
The Giving Day underscores the Foundation’s commitment to expanding educational opportunities and supporting student achievement at Florida Gateway College. Through scholarships, community partnerships, and innovative programs, the Foundation makes higher education accessible and fosters lifelong success. Donor participation directly funds scholarships, campus improvements, and initiatives that empower students and enrich the community.
The Foundation for Florida Gateway College is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to these goals, and Florida Gateway College itself is a comprehensive, regionally accredited community college in Lake City, Florida, offering pathway programs, technical training, transfer degrees, and workforce development.
