Powered by the Minuteman Fund
To help Central's donors provide practical assistance for campus projects, Central is launching "Manna Projects." This platform, powered by The Minuteman Fund, encourages friends of the College to enhance the campus locations and strengthen student retention efforts.
Minuteman donors have been on the leading edge of supporting Central for many years. Central invites students, alumni, and parents to join forces with this historic group to meet unexpected campus needs. As many people come together to support these Manna Projects, it will be like the manna provided by the Lord for the Israelites.
Your support of Manna Projects brings these key benefits:
Responsive Giving - Donors who participate in The Minuteman Fund have demonstrated prompt and timely gifts when a need arises. As a new Manna Project is identified, these donors are notified and asked to contribute immediately.
Tangible Improvements - Manna Projects bring practical and visible improvements to the campus. The Minuteman Fund brings specific enhancements to benefit students.
Donor Engagement - “Minutemen” are strongly connected to the College and its needs. They want to see the direct results of their contributions and understand their impact on the lives of students and the campus community. Manna Projects invite them to support their passions and interests.
Agility and Flexibility - Manna Projects are smaller in time and cost, making them able to be accomplished in a timely manner. Emerging needs receive priority attention.
Collaborative Decision-making - The College’s leaders listen to input from students, staff, and supporters for potential Manna Projects. Donor feedback helps shape decisions about future projects to be funded. (You are invited to give your input at the bottom of this page.)
The Minuteman Fund demonstrates the power of collective giving and the college's commitment to continuous improvement for its students. It symbolizes the strong partnership between the college and its donors to positively impact campus life through meaningful Manna Projects. Sign up for information about Manna Projects at CCCB.edu/mp.

Support Campus Safety at Central!
As we prepare for the largest incoming class in the last five years, we're also working to complete important safety upgrades on campus. Thanks to the generosity of The Mabee Foundation, The Solomon Foundation, and key donors, we've successfully created new apartments in Mabee Foundation Hall, providing affordable housing options for students, staff, and guests.
However, one critical project still needs your support: funding for essential security equipment, including Internet service, video surveillance, and access control. The first half of this $19,500 project has been funded, but we need your help to cover the remaining costs by early September.
Your contribution to the Minuteman Fund will directly enhance campus safety, ensuring secure doors, monitored entrances, and safe Internet access for our students. As a parent, I understand the peace of mind that comes with knowing our children are safe on campus.
Please consider making a gift to help us complete this vital project. Your timely support will keep Central strong and our students secure. Thank you for your generosity!
