Creating Opportunity – Scholarship Funds
The Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) invites you to join us for an engaging panel discussion exploring how CFMC scholarship funds create pathways to success for students pursuing postsecondary education. This investment is one of the most effective ways to remove barriers and provide stability, opportunity and a measurable return for our community.
You’ll hear from a donor and student perspective as well as how the CFMC can partner with you to meet real needs and offer meaningful support for those pursuing higher education.
This is a complementary program for CFMC fund holders and those exploring investing in student success through creating or supporting scholarships.
Please RSVP and let us know whether you will join us in person or online. We look forward to seeing you!
