The NSCC Foundation, Inc., is a a qualified 501(c)(3), fiscally separate from the College, and organized under the laws of Massachusetts. Its independent Board of Directors works to raise funds and provide support for programs that enhance and expand educational opportunity at North Shore Community College.
The purpose of the NSCC Foundation is to receive private gifts, bequests, and donations, and to account for and manage monies contributed. Presently, the Foundation administers a $5.5 million general endowment fund, named scholarship accounts, and general-purpose grants.
All gifts to The NSCC Foundation, Inc. are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by current law.
As educational costs began to rise, so did the need for additional financial assistance for North Shore students. In 1985, The NSCC Foundation, Inc. was established by a small group of business and community leaders to build necessary endowment through private fund-raising to ensure quality and accessible education to deserving students.
The mission of the Foundation is to raise funds for technical assistance, facilities, cultural arts programs and to aid financially burdened, but academically distinguished, North Shore Community College students. This fund-raising becomes more imperative as government continues to cut funds to education.
Since 1985, the Foundation has raised and directly distributed over $2,250,000 to more than 2900 NSCC students. For many students, this aid tipped the scale in allowing them to continue their education
