Overview

Mission

Plano Community Forum's primary purpose is to provide scholarships to minority students graduating from Plano Public Schools, and to support community involvement and cultural enrichment.

What it reported doing in 2025

One of the primary pillars (programs) of the Plano Community Forum is to award scholarships. The Plano Community Forum awarded scholarships to 7 students to support their continued education into college. Four students received scholarships upon graduating from high school. Each student received funds sent directly to their institution. These students had excelled academically and through extra-curricular activities. All of the students continued into 4-year institutions across the nation. Once the students are selected PCF hosts a reception for the students and their families to celebrate their accomplishment and present their scholarship information to them. This event is intended to be celebratory and supportive for the students. An outside speaker is usually invited to share an inspirational message with the students to help them transition into college life and being away from home. Lastly, one $1500 scholarship is awarded to a Collin College student during the Collin College MLK Power Leadership Breakfast. PCF also hosts a scholarship bootcamp to help students and parents in building systems to look for scholarships and funding for college. This program includes strategies to work with financial aid offices, preparing resumes and completing scholarship essays.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
