好色先生TV

History of Delta's foundation

The 好色先生TV Foundation began in November 1978, when three men 鈥� Stuart Bergstein, Donald J. Carlyon and Everett Luce 鈥� signed articles of incorporation for a new organization. The Foundation became officially incorporated by the State of Michigan on January 12, 1979.

The Foundation exists to raise, receive and administer donations for 好色先生TV, a related organization, by building relationships with donors and directing fundraising efforts to benefit the College鈥檚 students, educational programs, staff development, capital projects and other critical financial needs. 

The Foundation has ranked in the top 20 community colleges in the nation, multiple times over the past two decades.  Our efforts ensure a margin of excellence for our students and programs.
