The GCCF has two major goals for the future:
1) Provide educational opportunities through scholarships to our local students.
2) Encourage the community to support educational initiatives that create our future leaders.
As growth continues the foundation will look to provide more educational scholarships and development resources for tomorrow’s business leaders.
Assist the foundation in continuing our mission to become a sponsor.
The GC Chamber Foundation is diverse by nature and inclusive by choice. Inclusion builds stronger communities and companies, and diversity directly ties to and increases innovation and creativity.
We support multiple educational pathways – bachelor's and associate degrees, technical training, and advanced degrees.
We support local businesses that encourage the growth of employees’ skills. Strong communities and successful businesses reflect a diverse mix of backgrounds and experiences.
Our purpose is to strengthen our communities and business environment through educational opportunities for personal growth.
