Q1: What is the Faculty & Staff Campaign?
A: The Faculty & Staff Campaign is a fundraising effort to provide HCC faculty and staff an opportunity to invest in HCC and its students by donating unrestricted funds to be used where needed for the benefit of the HCC community. This demonstrates the unity and strength in working together to further the success of our students.
Q2: Why is my annual participation important?
A: Your annual participation is important because it shows that you are aligned with our shared mission, scholarships to support student success! By helping our students soar, you set an example for your colleagues by showing them you are invested in our student's success. We also show the Houston community at large that HCC faculty and staff also invest in the success of our students through personal giving. Annual participation is key to our success.
Q3: When I contribute to the HCC Faculty & Staff Campaign, where does my contribution go?
A: By making a contribution to the Faculty & Staff Campaign, you are contributing to the success of our students. You also have the opportunity to contribute to the success of your fellow HCC colleagues and their families through our expanded campaign giving options in 2022. You can designate your gift for the HCC Foundation or a particular scholarship. The Eaglet Fund is a fund that provides scholarships for children and immediate family members of faculty and staff (full-time/part-time).
