New Online Donation System Coming Soon

We are actively working with our banking partners to implement a secure, reliable online donation platform. In the meantime, check donations are the best way to support Pierce College students.

Why We Changed Platforms

We previously used Flipcause for online donations. Here's what happened and what it means for you.

What Happened

On November 14, 2025, the California Attorney General issued a cease and desist order to Flipcause, an online fundraising platform we previously used. Flipcause failed to transfer donations to nonprofits and has been ordered to stop operations.

The Foundation for Pierce College was a client of Flipcause - we are not affiliated with their operations. We have transitioned away from their platform and are implementing new donation systems.
