The CCC Foundation, a
committee that serves to gain
friends and funds for the college,
has awarded a total of $11,000 in
mini-grants to fund seven inno
vative projects at Clackamas.
According to Beiverly Ful
more, college advancement co
ordinator, there are “few tax dol
lars allotted for innovation and
new things.” For this reason,
four years ago, the Foundation
began offering mini-grants. Funds
for the grants are raised through
college and community fund rais
ers, and through a few corporate
grants. In total, approximately
$46,000 has been awarded to fund
new projects since the program’s
beginning.
This year’s mini-grants will
provide some funding for a vari
ety of new programs. According
to Fulmore, the Foundation tries
to fund a “cross-section” of inno
vative programs. These seven
for workshops, lectures and read
ings. The program will benefit
both staff and students.
2. Business presentations and
forums that feature local corpo
rate executives. Fulmore ex
plained that including commu
nity members in the projects is
important because “the more
community we can get involved
with our institution, the better
off we are.” Such programs help
expand and improve CCC’s
“partnership with business and
industry,” she said.
3. The purchase of computer
software programs to give better
computer access to students with
learning disabilities or visual
impairments.
programs include:
4. The purchase of a Virtual
Reality system for CCC drafting
students. With these special
hardware components, students
will be able to construct three-
dimensional designs.
1. A writer-in-residence pro
gram which will bring writers of
regional or national stature to CCC
5. Staff release time to incor
porate scholarship information
into a simple and accessible for
mat. This program will make it
easier and less time-consuming
for students who are searching for
scholarship information.
6. An outreach program for
women, primarily Hispanic, to
provide awareness about CCC
classes and programs, the Family
Resource Center, and the Life and
Career Options Program.
7. A program to increase aware
ness about, and help improve the
CCC Honors College. Getting
information about the Honors
College out to the public is a main
focus of this project.
According to Fulmore, there
were 27 applicants for mini-grants
this year, and all of the requests
totaled over $80,000. Applicants
were expected to complete a two-
page form and state the amount of
money they were requesting. The
applications were submitted to the
Foundation by March 1. The
Foundation selection committee
members reviewed the proposals
and awarded the mini-grants on
April 1.
