About the PCF Alumni Association

The Alumni Association intends to foster lifelong relationships with Peralta alumni while giving back to the four colleges that comprise the district and supporting student success through scholarships and faculty grants.

Membership benefits include:

  • Quarterly Alumni E-Newsletter
  • Invitations to Alumni events
  • Maintain your campus email account

Give Back

As a Peralta Colleges alum, you are a valued member of the Peralta community. Your participation is important in helping the Peralta Colleges Foundation remain successful and continue our mission of raising funds for student scholarships and faculty grants that enhance the intellectual, cultural, and educational needs of our students, faculty, staff, and the communities in which they work.

The amount that you contribute is not what matters; it is your participation that counts. You’re one in a million, and there are as many reasons to donate as there are Peralta alumni. If every alumnus gave just one dollar, you could make a substantial impact on the future of the Peralta District and its students. Start your giving today.
