OCC Week of Giving
Empower Minds, Build Futures
Why give to OCC?
Your involvement in our Week of Giving directly impacts the lives of our students and the vitality of our community. We invite you to join us during our Week of Giving.
The benefits extend far beyond our students. For every $1 of support from state and local governments, taxpayers see a remarkable return of $4 on their investments.

$100 | Internet access for a month |
$200 | Most textbooks and school supplies |
$250 | A laptop for school and career development |

Your dollar will champion accessible, affordable higher education that enriches your local community.
