One of the goals within the Mission of Big Sandy Community and Technical College [1] (BSCTC) relates to fundraising activities that will support the needs of the institution. KCTCS Administrative Policy 1.5.6.1[2] provides that the College president/CEO has ultimate control of the institution's fund raising activities. Fund raising activities at Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) are assigned to the Office of Institutional Advancement and comply with the KCTCS Administrative Policy 7.6 regarding fund raising [3]. The Advancement Officer reports to the President/CEO of BSCTC [4].

The College's foundation, Big Sandy College Educational Foundation, Inc. (BSCEF), is a 501(c) (3) organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. BSCEF is incorporated [5] as a recognized foundation of the Kentucky Community and Technical College system and adheres to Board of Regents Policy 7.4.2.1 [6]. Big Sandy College Educational Foundation, Inc., in accordance with KCTCS Administrative Policy 7.4 [7], partners with BSCTC to support the College's mission [1] and dedication to student success. This partnership is evidenced by both the President of BSCTC and the Advancement Officer holding membership on BSCEF's Board of Directors, with the Advancement Officer serving as executive director (Article VII, Section 9) [8]. The meeting minutes of the Foundation illustrate the involvement of the President and Advancement Officer in fundraising activities [9].
