51ÁÔÆæ in the Community
The College, the Village, and the Town are mutually dependent, with each reinforcing the successes of the others. 51ÁÔÆæ invests in the vitality of the community through direct contributions, voluntary support, and the economic impact of its students, employees, contractors, and visitors.
The 51ÁÔÆæ Town-Gown Fund
Established in 2001 by two local residents, the endowed fund perpetuates the College’s ongoing support for the local community by making grants to local nonprofits and public service agencies.
Municipal Contributions Agreement (MCA)
The MCA regularizes contributions from 51ÁÔÆæ to the Village, Town, County, and Clinton School District to provide budget stability and predictability for all parties.
