Giving to the Foundation

Giving to the Foundation

Donations to the Greenfield Community College Foundation directly impact our students’ ability to successfully pursue their education. Over half of our students rely on financial assistance to complete their degrees and all of our students benefit from the innovative programming, wrap-around services, and infrastructure upgrades funded by people like you.

Every gift makes a difference no matter the size. Your participation is an investment in our students, our regional workforce, and the future of our community.

We’ve listed several ways to give below. Questions? Give us a call at (413) 775-1600 or email foundation@gcc.mass.edu.

The GCC Foundation offers more than 200 awards and scholarships to students annually. Donate to our GCC Scholarship Fund to help a student fulfill their dreams. Interested in starting a new scholarship in honor of someone? Contact Executive Director Alexis Page, pagea@gcc.mass.edu (413) 775-1426 for more information.

Employer Matching Gifts

Many companies and organizations match employees’ charitable contributions—sometimes for as much as double the amount of the initial gift. Contact your Human Resources office to find out if your employer has a matching gift program.

Golf Tournament Sponsorship

For over thirty years the community and local businesses have come together at GCC’s annual golf tournament. All proceeds go towards GCC’s Cohn Scholarship Fund named in honor of Robbie and Mary Cohn. Email foundation@gcc.mass.edu or call (413) 775-1600 to find out about sponsorship opportunities and marketing benefits for your business or organization.

Endowment Gifts

Interested in making a lasting impact for generations to come? Endowed gifts require a minimum donation of $10,000. Your gift is then professionally invested and managed. Income from the fund provides reliable, ongoing annual funds for programs, services, and scholarships at GCC. Contact Executive Director Alexis Page, (413) 775-1426 for more information.

Honor Someone

Express your respect, gratitude or love for a special person in your life with a tribute gift to the GCC Foundation. A charitable donation in lieu of a purchased gift is a lasting way to honor friends and family. Memorial donations are a thoughtful and caring way to express sympathy and honor a legacy. If you wish, the individual you specify will receive a notification card of your thoughtfulness. To make a gift in honor or in memory of someone be sure to check the appropriate box on our online giving form.
