Community Colleges continue to struggle to meet their financial obligations. The State budget cuts have been so drastic that many community colleges are seeking new ways to secure funding at the local level. We have seen an increase in the number of colleges considering general obligation bonds, parcel taxes, corporate sponsorship programs and other fundraising mechanisms as ways to augment their budgets. Community Colleges have been cut to the core and are faced with closing many critical programs. The need to look outside for financial resources has never been greater.

AR Strategic Solutions (ARSS) creates highly structured public
relations, media and corporate sponsorship program for Community Colleges. The programs focus on seeking funding through various venues including fundraising opportunities, media marketing campaigns to make community colleges the ideal organizations to invest with, and corporate sponsorship programs that allow companies to market their business while investing in the education of our students.
