Monfort Family Foundation Commits $4.2 Million to College of Business
In January, the Monfort Family Foundation pledged $4.2 million to continue its long
time dedication to the Kenneth W. Monfort College of Business (MCB), its students
and faculty.
The family’s commitment to the well-known business college honors the enduring memory
of Kenny Monfort, the college’s namesake, revolutionary businessman, philanthropist
and beloved family patriarch.
The donation will be spread over six years and is earmarked for student scholarships, faculty enrichment, competitive opportunities for students and more.
