Behind every great community college is a foundation on a mission – to provide students with the financial means to pursue their dreams, to upgrade classrooms with state-of-the-art technology and equipment, to improve campus infrastructure, and to fund initiatives that support tomorrow’s workforce.

In November of that year, Durham Tech President Dr. Phail Wynn, Jr., L.A. Veasey, Dr. Susan Payne, and George Newton saw the need for donations and established the Durham Technical Institute Foundation as the fundraising arm of the College.
