FMCC Athletic Field Project
Creating a Place Where Dreams Take Root
At Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FMCC), we’ve always believed in the power of education — but we believe just as strongly in the power of place.
That’s why we’re building a state-of-the-art athletic field — not just for our student-athletes, but for our entire community.
This isn’t just a field. It’s a promise of access, equity, and opportunity.
A place where:
- Students chase their goals — on and off the field
- Local youth can play and dream
- Alumni feel pride in their alma mater
- Families come together to cheer, connect, and celebrate
Project Scope & Progress
Phase I: In Progress
- $650,000+ already raised through private donations and community support
- Excavation and groundwork complete
- Base layers of turf installation underway
- Final Goal: $750,000+
We’re in the final stretch — and your gift can help us cross the finish line.

Why This Project Matters
In a time when small colleges are often overlooked, FMCC is standing up for:
- Student access:
Athletics scholarships open doors for first-generation students
- Community strength:
This field will host public events, youth programs, and local leagues
- Regional pride:
This project shows we believe in our people and our place
Every donor is helping build something that lasts. Not just turf — but a legacy.
