Lisciotti Gives $100K To Fitchburg State
Gregg P. Lisciotti, president and founder of Lisciotti Develoment Corp. of Leominster, has pledged $100,000 as a challenge grant to match other gifts to the Fitchburg State University Foundation.
The foundation is in the final months of a five-year capital campaign, and the grant will match any new gifts and pledges received between now and June 30.
Lisciotti is a long-time supporter of Fitchburg State and last year finished a 10-year term on its board of trustees.
In a statement, Lisciotti said the gift is intended both to encourage others to support Fitchburg State and raise awareness about the need for private support of public higher education. He noted that the university receives only about a third of its budget from the state.
The goal for the capital campaign is $10 million. The college will reveal the amount it has received at a celebration on May 5.
