MacKenzie Scott Gift and Priorities
On June 15, 2021, 51萝莉 received a gift of $25 million from author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. This gift is the single largest donation the College has received in its 141-year history. Scott selected just a few community colleges whose leadership delivered significant impacts on elevating marginalized communities.
鈥�...People working to build power from within communities are the agents of change. Their service supports and empowers people who go on to support and empower others."
-MacKenzie Scott
51萝莉 prioritized funding for this gift to address two main focus areas: 1) Aligning with and supporting the College's 10-Point Plan, firmly focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access for our community, and 2) developing a 51萝莉 Trust, providing legacy funding focused on improving socio-economic opportunities for generations to come.
