CONCORD UNIVERSITY RECEIVES DONATION FROM ENTERPRISE HOLDINGS FOUNDATION

ATHENS, W.Va. – Enterprise Holdings Foundation gave a donation of $5,000 to Concord University in support of the university’s Gap Fund. Representatives from Enterprise stopped by University Point for the check presentation.

The Gap Fund is managed by Student Affairs to help “fill the gap” for students who may have a situation arise where they need some financial support.

Anna Hardy, Chief Student Affairs Officer & Dean of Students says, “The Gap Fund is an important resource for our students who face financial situations that hinder their ability to be successful in college. The fund assists students with medical expenses, living expenses, transportation, childcare, schooling costs, and unexpected financial emergencies. The Gap Fund has already assisted several students this semester whose needs included help with rent, purchasing software for class, tuition, vehicle repairs, and utilities. We are very thankful that Enterprise has chosen to help support our students in need.”

The mission of the Enterprise Holdings Foundation is to strengthen the communities where Enterprise Holdings and Enterprise Fleet Management employees live and work by actively supporting a range of charitable causes such as the environment, health and human services, education, military and disaster relief. As the philanthropic arm of Enterprise, the Foundation has contributed more than half a billion dollars to thousands of local non-profits and made wide-reaching commitments – from global philanthropic initiatives to community focused projects.
