Empowering Futures: Celebrating the Holidays and Reflecting on 2023 with the CM Merritt Foundation
As the year draws to a close, the CM Merritt Foundation takes a moment to bask in the warmth of shared accomplishments, celebrating the spirit of giving and empowerment that defines our community. Join us on this journey of reflection, gratitude, and the joyous anticipation of what lies ahead.
A Season of Empowerment
Scholarships Transforming Lives
In 2023, our commitment to empowering underrepresented voices in STEM shone brightly as we awarded scholarships to talented women and minorities. These scholars are not just recipients; they are trailblazers, breaking barriers and inspiring a future where diversity thrives in the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Gala Success: A Night to Remember
A Starlit Evening of Impact
Our annual gala was a resounding success, bringing together our incredible community in a night of celebration and purpose. With your support, we raised funds to fuel our mission and create more opportunities for aspiring minds to flourish in STEM fields. The gala was a testament to the power of unity and shared dedication to a brighter future.
Investing in Education: A Milestone at NC A&T State University
Honoring Candice Marcia Merritt's Legacy
A highlight of 2023 was the presentation of a $15,000 check to the Candice Marcia Merritt endowment at North Carolina A&T State University. This investment ensures that future generations of students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, have the resources they need to pursue their dreams in STEM. It's not just a donation; it's a commitment to fostering lasting change.

A Vision for the Future
