Your tax-deductible gift to the E Club
benefits both ECC student athletes and the Iowa Falls community in many
ways.
- More Students: Your E Club
membership supports athletic scholarships, which bring students to
Ellsworth Community College. The more scholarship money we have, the
more student athletes we can recruit to ECC.
- Expanded Academic Programs: Every
20 students enrolled at ECC creates the need for at least one faculty
member. Economic Boost for Iowa Falls: ECC tuition cycles through the
Iowa Falls community up to six times: faculty and staff salaries become
mortgage payments; property tax and sales tax income; service fees to
doctors, dentists, hairstylists, mechanics, etc. Economists have
calculated that students spend at least $30 to $50 a week in the
community. On-campus student housing for 231 student athletes brings an
estimated $554,400 into the community. Conservatively, that means the
economic impact of ECC’s student athletes in Iowa Falls and Hardin
County is about $3,242,317 each year.
- Local Entertainment: A full
campus brings more talent to the community in terms of athletic
competitions, theater productions, musical performances, and art
exhibits. ECC Athletics are good for students, the college, the
community, and you!
