Moraine Valley Community College faculty and staff have donated a record amount of money to the Moraine Valley Foundation for the third consecutive year. During this year’s Employee Giving Campaign, they contributed $90,500 to help support student scholarships, student emergency funds and special college projects.
More than 620 employees made contributions, with 96% of full-time faculty members donating. This year’s campaign, entitled “Unstoppable,” raised the largest amount of money since the campaign began over 10 years ago.
“We are thrilled such a high number of employees donated to the campaign. Having 96% of our full-time faculty contribute is truly a testament to their dedication to their students,” said Kristy McGreal, executive director of the Moraine Valley Foundation. “It is rare to see this level of participation in an employee giving campaign, and it is inspiring to see the staff and faculty increase their contributions each year to support the work we do in the Foundation.”

The Moraine Valley Foundation was founded in 1982 to provide scholarships and emergency assistance to Moraine Valley Community College students, fund innovative programs at the college and offer financial support to its Fine and Performing Arts Center. As a 501(c)3 entity, the Foundation partners with corporate and individual donors and has awarded over $1 million to support the college’s mission. In the last fiscal year, over $300,000 in scholarship funds were awarded to students pursuing a better life through higher education. Please help make our students’ dreams possible through a donation to the Foundation at morainevalley.edu/donate.
