Danielle Fugazy Scagliola is a financial journalist, covering mergers and acquisitions, private equity, lending, banking and the bond market. She has been covering the financial markets for more than 20 years.

Danielle received her B.A. in journalism with a minor in political science from The University of Massachusetts in 1999. 

As the president of the Glen Cove Education Foundation (GCEF), Danielle has been the driving force behind the rebirth of this non-profit. The GCEF works to provide support and funding for things that are outside of the School district's budget. Thanks to her extensive planning, foresight, vision and love of Glen Cove, more than $400,000 has been raised for the school district. 

In the last year alone, Danielle was instrumental in raising funds for flexible seating in the classrooms, a new scoreboard at the High School sports field and a baby grand piano for the music department. 

Under her leadership, GCEF was able to donate money for the new electronic sign at the high school entrance and two printing presses for the students to design, create and sell merchandise. GCEF also provided funds for materials to improve the Middle School entryway and cafeteria. 

Other projects include the purchase of air purifiers and touchless water filtration systems, band uniforms for the High School Marching Band, a playground at Deasy School, Gaga pits for playgrounds, funding of the Finley Middle School robotics club and district-wide master classes for all students.

Danielle and GCEF is also proud to run after school programs, theater clubs and robotics clubs at the elementary schools. 

To help fund the projects of the Glen Cove Education Foundation, Danielle has introduced highly successful events such as the GCEF Golf Classic and the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K. Along with raising much needed funds, these events have unified and brought the Glen Cove community together to support a common goal. Danielle recognizes the importance of finding funding solutions for our schools' needs, that don't fall on the backs of Glen Cove tax-payers.

Danielle is always looking for ways to improve life for the residents in Glen Cove. During her most recent term, Danielle successfully negotiated a lease agreement for North Shore Village Theater to make downtown Glen Cove its home for the next 10 years. 

Danielle also worked on projects to bring a better the quality of life for all residents in Glen Cove. For example, she has been working with the MTA advocating for better train service on the Oyster Bay line and she was instrumental in getting a new direct peak westbound train to Penn Station added to the schedule and an express peak westbound train created. She is currently working on eastbound peak train service.

Danielle also worked closely with the Glen Cove City School District, Glen Cove Department of Public Works and Glen Cove Beautification to launch our Glen Cove High School graduate banner program. Additionally, Danielle played an important role in getting the Hero's of Among Banners hung at Morgan's Park to celebrate our veterans.   

Over the years, Danielle has worked tirelessly to secure private donations for various projects around the city. Some of the donations she secured were for the rebuilding of the VFW, funds for our the local food pantries, funds to purchase new scoreboards at City Stadium, trees that were planted at city stadium along the animal shelter fence and more.
