A Campaign for North Central Missouri College

North Central Missouri College is embarking on the most ambitious fundraising effort of its 80-year history. The college announced plans April 27, 2005 to college and community leaders in Trenton.

The campaign, “Invest In The Vision,” will primarily be focused on funding four initiatives:

  • a new academic classroom building with emphasis on Allied Health and Life Sciences
  • renovation of Geyer Hall – the anchor building on the Trenton campus
  • and efforts to enhance a campus ambiance with lighting, signage, landscaping and additional parking
  • development of the Barton Farm Campus, expanding curriculum and facilities in Agriculture and Natural Resources programs

The planning for the campaign began with a feasibility study which took place in the summer of 2004. During this study, over 85 individuals – including business and community leaders from throughout the region and key contacts across the United States, as well as college employees and alums – were interviewed.

Jerry Wilford, Phyllis Dible, Wendell Lenhart & Dr. Albert Cross Results of the feasibility study showed overwhelming support for the college and recommended the college proceed with a major gifts campaign. Key projects, which were identified during NCMC’s strategic campus master planning process, were tested during this study and narrowed down to the three targeted projects of the campaign. Other initiatives which may be included in the planning process include the on-going need for endowed scholarships and the construction of a student union/commons building.

Solicitation of funds began in March 2005 with a “family campaign” involving NCMC employees. Over $50,000 was pledged or contributed through this effort of the college family to the campaign expected to last 3-5 years in length.

Funding for the capital campaign expense has been provided by a gift from the late Betty Frances Hall, a local community college alum and long-time member of the NCMC Board of Trustees.

As of July 1, 2009, over $11 million has been pledged or committed to the efforts of the campaign. We invite you to participate today by contacting the College Development office and make your 'Investment in the Vision'!
