Driving Academic Excellence
Programs
Contributions advance Gateway's academic mission, providing much-needed funding for scholarships, faculty and staff development, instructional program development, technology, and equipment. The quality and caliber of academic programs make a difference for today's students and tomorrow's.
Emergency financial assistance in times of crisis
Helping Hands
The Helping Hands Fund assists students who are experiencing a short-term financial crisis - for which they could not have been prepared and for which no other resources are immediately available.
There is Support When you Need it
Family Economic Security Program (FESP)
FESP is a program that provides students with wraparound services – a mixture of academic, career, financial and personal support. The goal is to support students every step of the way to certificate and/or degree completion.
Create a lasting legacy
Endowment
To endow means “to give or bequeath”. An endowment is a self-sustaining, perpetual source of funding to provide a permanent impact on our students and the College. An endowment enhances stability, prestige, credibility and reflects planned long-term stability, fiscal responsibility, and financial viability. It links past, current, and future generations. It also allows an institution to make commitments far into the future, knowing that resources to meet those commitments will continue to be available.
Gifts that could help for generations to come
Planned Giving
When you plan a future gift to Gateway, you extend the promise of the college’s mission. With thoughtful planning, you can meet your family, financial, retirement, and estate planning goals while also maximizing the impact of your philanthropy to Gateway. Your planned gift – no matter the size – can contribute to a legacy that ensures a creative and an uncompromising education for generations to come.
Gifts In Support of the greatest need
Scholarships
Scholarships are often the difference between moving ahead with higher education and the end of the dream of a college education for Gateway Community College students. A range of scholarship opportunities are available to respond to students' needs in academic disciplines that offer the essential classroom experience towards advancing career prospects.
Educational Dreams Are Possible
Annual Fund
Annual Fund gifts touch every corner of the campus and impact the entire student population. Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund underwrite current needs that cannot be funded by state assistance, tuition or fees. They are renewable funds that enable the college to place resources where they are most needed or where opportunities are greatest. Our Gateway students are the fabric of the New Haven community, and gifts to the Annual Fund allow the Gateway Foundation to support deserving students in their educational pursuit.
