Welcome to the Office of Institutional Advancement at Hartnell College!

The Office of Institutional Advancement is home to the Hartnell College Foundation, which seeks and manages funding from private sources, and the college's public grants development department. Both serve the mission of the college and champion student success by cultivating resources and encouraging innovation. If you are interested in seeking private funding support, please contact Jackie Cruz, Executive Director of the Hartnell College Foundation, or Kris Edmunds, Director of Philanthropy. Information about the Hartnell College Foundation, including its commitment to the college and the community, can be found on the Foundation website.

The primary purpose of this section of the Hartnell website is to outline the function of the public grants development department, indicate the institutional process for the submission of grant proposals, and provide internal and external grant-related resources.

Here is a brief list of the services that the Office of Advancement provides:

What We Do
