Giving to North Shore Community College

Your gift transforms the lives of promising students and strengthens our communities

Everyone deserves an opportunity to achieve. A charitable gift to benefit North Shore Community College is life-changing for our students, elevates entire families, and fuels our region with graduates who live and work on the North Shore. They are our healthcare providers, first responders, small business owners, skilled professionals, creative artists, and the future of the North Shore economic engine.

All charitable gifts to benefit North Shore Community College and its students are received and managed by The NSCC Foundation, Inc. a qualified 501(c)(3) organization that is fiscally separate from the College and organized under the laws of Massachusetts.

If I have an emergency of any sort, my education would 100% be at risk.
