Every year we invite our community to sustain their individual support of our program and its young scholars. Through a letter writing effort joined by the entire board, we send news of the house and request from long-term and first time donors an amount that will help us with our annual operational costs.

How does your contribution work for Greylock ABC? It costs our program $550 per day, every day of the 180-day academic year, to support our ABC scholars and the Resident Directors with whom the students share a home.

$550 dollars per day includes basic necessities for our students’ well being, academic pursuits and a welcoming environment in which to live. That means the ABC board must raise $104,000 per year to continue offering that better chance. How do we do that?

We are volunteers who believe that our community must create opportunities. This community generously contributes to our annual ABC Clothing Sale, our ABC Room Service on Williams’ Family Days and graduation and the biennial ABC Art Auction. Those are important sources to our operation costs. But the biggest source of our revenue is our now once a year ABC Fund Drive.

This fund drive is successful if you are generous.

We have facilitated your opportunity to share through the secure on-line donation using Pay Pal. You need not have an account with Pay Pal to make your donations. Simply select the “online donate” button and follow the provided instructions.
