Be a Student’s Hero

Donations to the Greatest Needs Fund provide for immediate funding that urgently supports much-needed programs and initiatives and also bolsters emergency and scholarship funding.  Additionally, matching donations within this fund enhance the support the Foundation can provide to students in underserved populations, which include: low income, first-generation, single parents, Dreamers and more.  

Chandler-Gilbert’s food pantry is called the Coyote Cupboard, and you can find one on both the Pecos and Williams Campuses. Coyote Cupboards offer free non-perishable food, household items, and school supplies for CGCC students. COVID has taught us so much about ourselves and our students and emphasized our attention to the whole student and their experience. Operated in partnership with Matthew’s Crossing Food Bank, the Coyote Cupboard is dedicated to ensuring no one in our community goes hungry or without certain necessities. Items available include canned foods, pasta, snacks, drinks, toiletries and personal items.

Your generosity, no matter how big or small, impacts and provides remarkable opportunities for students who are veterans, first-generation college students, athletes, artists and more as well as the faculty and staff who work diligently to make our campus exceptional.

Thank you, in advance, for making a difference by helping turn educational dreams into realities.

The Greatest Needs Fund is our most flexible fund. It enables us to react quickly to urgent needs.

Your donation of any amount is appreciated and will help with the greatest immediate needs of our students in emergency situations. The GCC Student Emergency Fund will be available to help when "life happens" and keep our students focused on their academic and career goals.  Many times, these emergency needs are what pushes a student to make a decision to stop attending their classes and with your help we hope to change that decision and make college life easier. Thank you for your generosity and support. 

Be a Force For Access and Opportunity.

Basic needs are fundamental resources that students need to fully engage in learning, and basic need insecurity has a direct impact on students’ well-being and success. Bumstead’s Resource Room provides shelf-stable food, personal hygiene products, school and child care supplies; and other critical resources to keep students enrolled and on track to complete their programs of study.   Your gift makes a world of difference; thank you!

The purpose of this fund is to support student programs to include projects, activities, marketing, stipends, fees, supplies, books or initiatives that impact the college and/or its students.

​Dr. Jan Gehler and her husband, Bill, established the Gehler Student Emergency Fund to assist SCC students facing a financial crisis. 

The Gehler Student Emergency Fund will ensure that a student’s education is not derailed when life happens - whether a flat tire, dead battery, unexpected medical bill, or Covid-19 challenges.
