Fort Peck Community College Receives Largest Gift In Its History
Fort Peck Community College has received a monumental $11 million gift from the MacKenzie Scott Foundation (Yield Giving), celebrating the largest donation in the college’s history since its founding in 1978.
“This is a momentous milestone for Fort Peck Community College,” exclaimed FPCC President Craig Smith. “We are truly grateful to the MacKenzie Scott Foundation for this transformative gift, which will accelerate several projects that have been in our long-term plans for our campus.”
“While this investment will strengthen our physical infrastructure”, continued Smith, “it will also allow our administration, faculty and staff to enhance services to our students and our communities across the Fort Peck Indian Reservation for generations to come.”
“I believe that this historic gift is a tribute to the founders of the college as well as past administrations, faculty members, staff members and students,” said Smith. “With FPCC’s 50th anniversary coming up in 2028, this financial bequest will give the institution something to build upon and celebrate at that time. Again, on behalf of the FPCC board of directors, administration, faculty, staff and students, I express the deepest gratitude to MacKenzie Scott and her Foundation for the contribution made to our institution, along with her contributions to other tribal colleges and Indian Country across the nation.”
