Board of Trustees & Board Committee Applications
Board of Trustees & Board Committee Open Recruitment Will Resume Spring 2027
The 51°µÍø Foundation has paused open recruitment for board trustees and board committee members for this year. We will reopen applications in Spring 2027.
51°µÍø is the largest institution of higher education in Oregon, serving more than 50,000 learners annually. As the philanthropic arm of the college, the 51°µÍø Foundation raises critical financial resources to support 51°µÍø students and programs.
The 51°µÍø Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees serve as fiduciaries to the 51°µÍø Foundation and provide strategic oversight of its governance and operations. Learn more about the role of our trustees.
Additionally, the 51°µÍø Foundation Board has five working committees that are responsible for key functions of the Foundation in service to the Foundation’s strategic plan. The committees comprise both trustees and non-trustees, serving as committee volunteers. Learn more about our committees.
The 51°µÍø Foundation is committed to having a well-rounded board offering skills that strengthen our work and a balanced board that reflects the breadth of our student body.
We encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about joining the 51°µÍø Foundation board or a committee to fill out this and we will be in touch with you in February 2027 when our application reopens.
