EACC FOUNDATION HISTORY
East Arkansas Community College is built on land donated by Betty Jo Hodges given in memory of her late husband. The project was sanctioned by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education in August of 1973. The original foundation was called the Crowley’s Ridge Community College Corporation, which was chartered in 1969. The original directors were William Campbell, Bill Clanton, Bill Irving, Bob Porter and John Mann. Though the corporate entity remained the same, the name was changed in 1976 to East Arkansas Community College Foundation, Inc. The EACC Foundation, Inc. received non-profit, tax-exempt status under 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code in 1983.
