THANK YOU GENE HAAS FOUNDATION

The grant funds scholarships to students in the computer integrated machining program. Scholarships fund tuition, books, and small personal tools that are required by the program.

Grants Kathy Looman. “We are committed to continuously supporting these same schools and organizations as well as adding additional ones annually.”

In 2021 the Gene Haas Foundation, founded by Gene Haas, owner of Haas Automation, Inc., granted Cape Fear Community College’s computer integrated machining program $16,000.

“In 2021, the Gene Haas Foundation provided more than $18.5 million in grants towards education and another $3 million to the communities where Haas businesses are located, bringing the total grants awarded since inception to about 4,500 organizations and schools to more than $120 million,” said Director of Education and Gene Haas Centers Naming

“Support from the Gene Haas Foundation has benefited so many of our computer machining students and is crucial to the success of our career and technical programs,” said Jim Morton, CFCC president. “We are grateful for this investment and look forward to seeing our students help meet the needs of the U.S. manufacturing industry.”

Since 2017, CFCC has received $79,500 total in cumulative giving from the Gene Haas Foundation
