Impact: Carrying Ellen's Vision Forward
Give to the Impact Fund
In honor of President Kennedy's retirement, BCC is launching a special fundraising
initiative to grow the Berkshire Community Impact Fund, an endowed fund that reflects
Ellen's deepest values and priorities.
The Impact Fund provides flexible, long-term support to address the most critical
needs at BCC. An incredibly generous donor established this fund at the College, and
it has been Ellen's favorite ever since.
Your donation helps ensure that BCC can respond to evolving priorities and continue
building a brighter future for our students and the Berkshires. This fund supports:
- Student success and persistence
- Basic needs and essential support
- Emergency assistance
- Equity-driven access to education
- Long-term community impact
It is not a program-specific fund. It is a mission fund, designed to respond to evolving
student and community needs now and in the future.
This initiative will build a lasting foundation of access, dignity, opportunity, and
care for generations of BCC students to come. It ensures we can respond to critical
priorities, whether that's scholarships, emergency aid, program enhancements, or other
opportunities that uplift our students and community.
We can't imagine a more meaningful way to carry Ellen's vision forward and create
a brighter future for our students and the Berkshires. Give in honor of President
Kennedy, and support the future of BCC.
