Transition to Community College Program

College Advancement

Massasoit Community College’s Advancement office is committed to the success of Massasoit by developing and building relationships with alumni, parents and guardians, friends, students, staff, faculty, community leaders, and our corporate partners. The Office does this by promoting the outstanding, accessible, equitable, and affordable education our diverse student population receives, and the amazing work being done by our student, faculty and staff. We seek to share information on the work being done at the College through engagement and fundraising events to support the work of the College.

Grants Department

The Grants Department provides centralized leadership and support for the development and coordination of grant funding at Massasoit Community College. The department works with faculty, staff, Senior Leadership, and external partners to identify and pursue state, federal, and private funding opportunities that advance the College’s mission, 2024–2029 Strategic Plan, institutional priorities, student success, workforce development, and community impact.

The Grants Department supports the grant lifecycle from opportunity identification and project development through proposal submission and transition to implementation. Services include funding opportunity research, project and proposal development, budget preparation, data and evaluation planning, partnership coordination, compliance guidance, and submission support.

Faculty and staff interested in pursuing external funding or who are approached by an external organization or community partner about participating in a grant-funded project should first consult with their Dean, Supervisor, and/or Vice President and engage the Grants Department early in the process.

Early coordination with the Grants Department and the College’s review process helps ensure that proposed projects:

• Align with the College’s mission, Strategic Plan, institutional priorities, and identified needs;
• Receive appropriate Senior Leadership and administrative review and approval;
• Consider staffing, budget, facilities, technology, data, compliance, and other implementation requirements;
• Include clearly defined roles, responsibilities, outcomes, and partnership commitments;
• Account for financial obligations, sustainability, and institutional capacity; and
• Are centrally coordinated to avoid competing or duplicative approaches to funders.

Marketing & Communications

The Marketing & Communications Office is responsible for helping tell the story of the entire college – including faculty, staff, and students – to advance Massasoit’s mission. The Office oversees the College’s marketing, advertising, branding, media relations, social media, website content programs, and provides support to other departments across the College as it relates events, publications, and community relations. The executive director serves as the College’s Records Access Officer. Additionally, the Office manages the College’s stock of branded merchandise and supplies available for events and programs.
