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!
