ONE COLLEGE

ONE COMMUNITY

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

The ONE Campaign is a philanthropic effort to support new facilities on FVCC’s Kalispell campus to better serve students and the community.

Phase I

Funding is complete for a new Library and Learning Commons addition to the Rebecca Chaney Broussard Center for Nursing & Health Science

Phase II

The College Center will feature a Performance and Lecture Hall and Multi-Purpose Activity Complex to accommodate for large campus and community events.

Be-Seated

A gift or pledge of $5,000 or more will establish a permanent presence in the Performance and Lecture Hall with a plaque on a seat that bears your name, or the name of a family, friend, company, organization or memorial.

Your gift to Flathead Valley Community College will be a significant step in advancing our mission to promote excellence in lifelong learning, focused on student success and community needs.

Timing has never been better to take the next steps to strengthen the college experience for students and community members alike. We invite you to consider the exciting projects in this campaign to accelerate FVCC into the future.
