The Annual Fund for Monroe Community College

FACULTY AND STAFF RISE TOGETHER TO INSTILL A SENSE OF DUTY AND CURIOSITY THAT HELP THE GREATER GOOD

Matthew Fox

“I work with underrepresented students in my classroom, and I see firsthand how the MCC Foundation helps those students through scholarships and direct support. These students are essential to three of the five directions in MCC’s strategic plan, but too many of them drop out because of financial shortfalls and lack of basic needs, such as food and transportation. The support the Foundation provides them is invaluable. It is often the difference between students walking the stage at Commencement and leaving the college without a degree.

Supporting MCC students and scholarships is important to me because receiving an education helped me to change my life, and I hope to have the same impact on others. Providing financial support to MCC students can eliminate one more barrier—giving them a fair chance to be successful.  It is my way of giving back to the college and the students that give so much to me.” - Matthew Fox

Unlimited Potential

Whether you choose to make an unrestricted gift or restrict your gift to a specific scholarship fund, support from faculty and staff is vital to the health and continued growth of Monroe Community College.

Your gifts to the Annual Fund for Monroe Community College make it possible for MCC students to overcome financial challenges that may seem like insurmountable barriers to a college education. Thank you for allowing us to help build a more promising future for our students and our community by making the possibility of a college education a reality.

Grow your gift! Now is an extraordinary time for faculty and staff to inspire success and support MCC students with a gift to the MCC Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of MCC Foundation donors, your gift could be matched--up to three times in some cases—increasing the impact of your support.

MCC Emergency Assistance (MCC Assist) provides funds to students who face unexpected financial emergencies, one of the top reasons community college students drop out of school. Your gift will allow MCC to continue meeting students’ emergency needs so that they can remain on the path to college completion.

Every student at MCC is working to build a strong foundation for a promising future. Your generosity helps students achieve their educational and career goals.
