Student Philanthropy Committee

An intiative of the FIT Foundation and Office of Alumni Relations, the Student Philanthropy Committee (SPC) engages FIT’s diverse student body in ways that directly reflect student feedback and provide value to the overall community by strengthening student pride, and giving back through various philanthropic projects that support FIT’s mission and strategic initiatives. Through membership in the committee, students develop leadership skills, build new connections, and contribute to a culture of philanthropy at the college.

For more information, please contact Gem Murray, Manager of Alumni and Relations and Development.
