Fulfilling Basic Needs -- Supporting the Whole Student
ECMC Foundation seeks to support a cohort of organizations and/or higher education institutions that further the research, development and scaling of basic needs initiatives at two-year and four-year campuses. ECMC Foundation's College Success focus area defines basic needs initiatives as direct student supports/interventions that target everyday needs affecting college students' wellbeing and academic performance. These areas may include, but are not limited to housing, food insecurity, hygiene, financial assistance and mental health. The growth and lessons learned from the selected cohort members will be used to inform the Foundation's strategic grantmaking.
