The South Plains College Foundation, founded in 1979, grew from the vision of a prominent local businessman who saw the need to promote and further the educational interests of South Plains College. The Foundation is charged with raising funds for the purpose of supporting the educational programs of the college and educational dreams of its students.

Assistance takes the form of scholarships, professional development endowments, capital improvements, program enrichment and other related vehicles. The Foundation serves the entire college system with campuses in Levelland, Lubbock and Plainview, Texas.
