The Women’s Giving Circle of Cumberland Community Foundation  recently awarded $10,000 to the FTCC Foundation and the H.O.P.E. Program, FTCC shared. 

 

The Women’s Giving Circle of Cumberland County’s mission is to “build and encourage philanthropy in women, engage all generations, and encourage women to be more intentional with their giving,” according to the organization’s site. 

 

H.O.P.E. stands for Hope, Opportunity and Prosperity through Education, and is one of the college’s initiatives to make higher education more accessible. The program “seeks to provide accelerated training in high-demand skills to county residents without a college degree, including those with some college, a high school diploma or less,” an FTCC press release said. 

 

In particular, the grant will go toward childcare support and tuition assistance for the program. 

The check was presented by Jan Carnahan, vice chair of the Women's Giving Circle to Sandy Ammons, executive director of the FTCC Foundation, and Dr. Mark Sorrells, senior vice president of the college.
