Giving Thanks

The MCC Foundation is deeply grateful for all the ways that MCC faculty and staff support students every single day. Not only do you inspire the way forward inside and outside the classroom, your generous contributions to the MCC Foundation have allowed students to keep working toward their educational and career goals.

MCC consistently ranks at the top of the list among SUNY community colleges in faculty and staff giving. With your help, we were able to award more than 800 scholarships totaling nearly $1.1 million during the 2020-21 school year. The Dreamkeepers program continues to meet an unprecedented level of needs due to the ongoing pandemic – 620 grants totaling $235,000 were awarded over the last year to ensure that students experiencing financial crises can remain in school.

Your support also has resulted in $12,100 in new and increased unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund that were matched dollar-for-dollar by the William and Sheila Konar Foundation and $3,470 in new faculty gifts to Dreamkeepers that were matched by the Summers Foundation. These matching challenges are ongoing and double the impact of your generosity.

We could not do what we do without you. From everyone at the MCC Foundation, THANK YOU!
