The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation was the top fundraiser for East Texas Giving Day 2022. Finishing the night with $135,300, NTCC raised more than almost 300 nonprofits from across 32 East Texas Counties. NTCC also finished fifth place for the total number of donations with 140 gifts.
“We really just can’t thank everyone enough for their support. There are so many wonderful nonprofits that participate in East Texas Giving Day and the fact that so many chose to give to NTCC is humbling,” Nita May, NTCC Director of Development, said.
College employees were major contributors to the campaign, with 66 individuals making donations.
“It really says a lot about an institution when its employees are willing to give their own money to support it. It shows that they really feel passionate about the work we do here to help students,” Dr. Jonathan McCullough, NTCC Executive Vice President for Advancement, said.
NTCC has participated in East Texas Giving Day since its inception seven years ago.
“That first year we really had no idea what East Texas Giving Day was about an we were delighted when someone donated a few hundred dollars. Each year we have raised more and more and it has become something that both we, and our donors, look forward to,” May said.
Overall, East Texas Giving Day 2022 raised $2,896,721 from 5,600 donations. The event took place on Tuesday, April 26.
