Philanthropy

The Wentworths established a scholarship fund at Monroe Community College (MCC) for business and music majors and gave the school a Steinway piano in 2009.[13]

In 2010, they established the Wentworth Family Endowed Scholarship at the University of Rochester, the school two of their three children attended, which supports students transferring from community or junior colleges.[2][8] In 2012, after a $1 million donation to the school, the Wentworth Atrium in the Raymond F. LeChase hall of the University of Rochester's Warner School of Education was named for the Wentworths.[2][8] The couple are members of the George Eastman Circle, the University of Rochester's giving society, as well as the University's Parents Council. They also serve as co-chairs of the Parents Initiative for the Meliora Challenge.[2] In May 2013, Wentworth was named to the University of Rochester Board of Trustees.[14]

In November 2013, the Wentworths gave MCC $2.25 million which would be processed through the Monroe Community College Foundation and award full scholarships to 40 MCC students annually. This was the largest single donation in MCC's history at the time.[7][13] They also donated $3 million to the University of Rochester's Institute of Data Science in 2015.[2]
