More than 100 years old, The Colony Club of Ambler is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the community by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer services.

The Colony Club of Ambler is part of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC). These clubs and members are the fabric that binds not only the Federation but also the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC clubwomen transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs and members remain committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its formation 128 years ago.

Established in 1983, the MCCC Foundation provides scholarships for deserving students; grants for faculty projects, equipment and technology; emergency funds for students; support for cultural enrichment activities on campus; and financial resources for other college programs and activities. More than $500,000 was awarded to over 300 students in 2017-2018. For additional information or to discuss how to make a gift, contact the Foundation at 215-641-6530 or giving@mc3.edu.
