How are the Brooklyn College Foundation and the BC Alumni Association related?
Like the BCF, the BCAA is an independently incorporated 501(c)3 organization whose original purpose (as stated in its certificate of incorporation) is “to encourage and promote the educational purposes of Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and the educational welfare of its students.” From an operational standpoint, the primary charge of the BCAA is to foster, maintain, and enhance the alumni connection to the college through chapters, graduating classes, and professional affiliate groups. In comparison, the primary charge of the BCF is to raise funds to provide resources that advance the mission of Brooklyn College.
