Let’s finish strong!

Three years ago, the EmpowerED for Student Success campaign launched with a bold goal: $20 million by June 2026. Thanks to our generous community, we’re almost there.

Together, we’ve removed financial barriers and invested in scholarships, basic needs, workforce development, and innovative programs that change lives.

It’s not over yet. Your gift today helps bridge the gap between potential and opportunity.

Join the movement and help us cross the finish line! mcccdf.org/empowered
