Campaigns & Notable Gifts

'The Campaign for Garrett: Realizing our Dream'

Recognizing that technology and equipment have a short life span, the Garrett College Foundation recently launched the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the history of the College, ‘The Campaign for Garrett: Realizing our Dream”, with a goal of raising $500,000 for technology and equipment, as well as STEM scholarships.

GC has already raised close to $300,000 of the $500,000 goal during the pre-launch stage of the campaign.

The Foundation recognized major donors who have made an investment towards the campaign by naming a room or space in the STEM building. Donors were announced at the facility’s grand opening celebration on September 8th.
