Greetings from the Quinsigamond Community College Foundation

Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) has been part of my life since my early childhood. Born and raised in Worcester, QCC was the place where my friends and I gathered to play basketball and it was the place where many of my teenage friends went to college. QCC provided my high school friends access to affordable, accessible, and excellent quality higher education and a strong sense of college community. Now, as President of the QCC Foundation, I find myself in the position of making sure that QCC continues to be the best choice of college education for so many of my fellow Worcester and Central Massachusetts residents.

During the past three or four years, the QCC Foundation has become essential in helping the College to comply with its strategic plan by raising funds to provide the students with what they need to succeed in their academic goals. The Foundation has led the efforts in creating a state-of-the-art Food Pantry and Resource Center, increasing the number of scholarships available for students while also increasing the funding awarded in scholarships for our students, awarding grants to QCC faculty and staff to develop and execute innovative projects that directly benefit students, and applying for grants that allow the College to offer enhanced student services.

In 2022-2023 the Foundation embarked in a comprehensive self-reflection that resulted an FY24-FY26 Strategic Plan that clearly defines our primary goals and the strategies to accomplish them. This self-reflection also led to a revamped mission that better reflects the support we provide to the College as this essential institution celebrates its 60 Anniversary.

Our mission is to raise the funds and provide the resources to support the QCC’s mission to be the gateway to advanced educational and economic opportunities in Central Massachusetts, make impactful community connections, and create and expand on initiatives to ensure students have a successful academic experience. 

The Foundation Board is very excited about the years ahead and we invite you to be part of this journey. Help us support QCC!

Matt Wally, President
