Student Emergency Fund - The Need is Greater Now Than Ever!
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues we are beginning to realize the true impact the emergency situation is having on our students. For example, we are seeing students unable to make rent and unable to return home to places like New York City. We only expect this need to grow.
Many of you have reached out to see how you can help during this time. Last year, the SUNY Erie Community College Foundation committed $15,000 to provide support for students facing emergency situations on a need to need basis. We are currently utilizing this fund in support of our students but we are already seeing greater demand. You can support our students by making a donation to the
Student Emergency Fund.
As an additional incentive, the SUNY Impact Foundation is providing a matching program for the Student Emergency Fund from now until July 15. Every contributions will be matched 1:1 up to a total of $50K.
As an added incentive, anyone donating at least $50 or who commits to monthly payroll contributions will receive this reusable SUNY Erie branded facemask as a thank you!
Any support you can provide will be deeply appreciated - by us, and more importantly, by the SUNY Erie students who will be helped by your generosity.
