Funding and Community Partnerships for the Southeast Center

The Southeast Center is supported through both public investments and institutional fundraising.

The project received $12.25 million in Commonwealth support through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), a $2 million commitment from Visit Delco for Culinary Arts and Hospitality Studies, $2 million in federal funding obtained by U.S. Senator John Fetterman and U.S. Representative Mary Gay Scanlon, and $1 million in federal support secured by U.S. Senator Bob Casey for the Early Childhood Learning Center. Finally, as part of the 2023 Bond Series, Pennsylvania is committed to $33.25 million toward Southeast Center funding.

By the end of 2025, the College’s Building Community philanthropic initiative, launched in 2021 to strengthen educational facilities, expand workforce preparation, and support student success through scholarships, raised over $8.5 million. The next phase through “Tools for Tomorrow” (dccc.edu/campaign) is now focused exclusively on completing the initial capital build-out of the Southeast Center to provide professional-grade equipment, technology, and space enhancements while programs are scaling.
