Mosaic Fund

The Queensborough Mosaic Fund

Queensborough's 2021–2026 Strategic Plan identifies Cultivating a Community of Care as one of its three overarching goals, underscoring the college’s commitment to fostering a campus climate that is respectful, affirming, and inclusive.

In support of this vision, the Queensborough Mosaic Fund was created to provide financial support for full-time faculty and staff who want to design and host college-wide events that celebrate culture, gender identity, and the many ways we connect as a community.

Have you had an idea for a cultural event you’d love to see happen? Or maybe you and a colleague have talked about hosting a panel discussion on a topic that matters to you. The Mosaic Fund is your invitation to help shape the experiences we all share.

Here are just a few possibilities you could bring to life:

  • A cultural food fair
  • A panel on traditions, identities, or community stories
  • A dance, art, or music showcase from diverse cultures
  • A celebration of international holidays
  • A workshop on gender identity and expression

The Mosaic Fund makes it possible to turn creative ideas into meaningful campus experiences that explore, uplift, and celebrate the richness of our community.
