Who Contributes? Foundations & Corporations Who Contributes? l Alumni l Friends of the College l Faculty & Staff l Families Whether located right here in Maine or as distant as Indiana, foundations and corporations have made a significant difference in the growth and development of the College. Some grants are as small as $2,000; others are as large as $1 million. All are investments in the lives of Saint Joseph’s students. Foundation and corporate support has made a difference through: • Scholarships for academically gifted students whose families need help in meeting the total costs of their education • Grants for faculty active in important research areas • Cutting-edge projects such as putting entire Graduate & Professional Studies programs online or developing the faculty’s capacity to use the web in their courses • Capital funds for renovations and the construction of new buildings to support living and learning on the Saint Joseph’s campus Some corporations have chosen to support scholarships for students in
Maine and New England through the Corporate Alliance Program for Scholarships
(CAPS) of the Annual Fund. These grants provide scholarships in the name
of businesses to deserving students. Corporations can set the criteria
and are invited to an annual Scholarship Recognition Reception, which
publicly honors the donor and the student.
Harold Alfond Foundation Saint Joseph’s College is proud to have the name of Alfond associated with the greatest era of new building and change since the College moved to its Standish campus from Portland in 1956. Through the Harold Alfond Foundation’s $1 million initial challenge in 1997, along with additional related challenges and gifts, Saint Joseph’s was able to construct the first major addition to our campus, the Alfond Student Center. Last fall, the College dedicated a second building to Harold Alfond, in recognition of the second $1 million challenge that drew support for the first major academic construction in nearly 50 years — the 32-classroom, technologically modern Alfond Hall. The buildings named for Mr. Alfond have become the standard by which
everything else at the College is measured. Both showcase the College’s
location on the shores of Sebago Lake overlooking the mountains —
but more importantly, both are serving our growing student enrollment
with excellent facilities that meet the campus life and academic needs
of Saint Joseph’s students in the 21st Century.
