Give to MCC - Making an Impact

Donors who give to the MCC Foundation impact the lives of students like Biniyam Woudie (photo left).  “Bini” is studying liberal arts and sciences at MCC in hopes of transferring to Cornell University and achieving his goal of becoming a surgeon. An MCC Foundation scholarship funded by donors to the MCC Annual Fund, makes it possible for Bini to take a variety of courses and prepare himself for future success. Bini will graduate in May 2009.

Whether it is an MCC student you want to inspire, a loved one you wish to honor, or an academic or co-curricular program you would like to support because it benefited you, the MCC Foundation is here to help make your giving experience as easy as possible, enjoyable and rewarding.

To give to MCC and impact student lives in our community, please consider the following giving options available through the MCC Foundation:

Establish an Endowment

Endowments are donated funds that are invested in perpetuity. Principal-generated earnings fund a scholarship or professorship/chair based on your wishes. If you are eager to have your gift impact lives now and in the future, establishing an endowment is a wise choice.

Honor a Loved One

Convey congratulations or celebrate special occasions by making a gift to the MCC Foundation on behalf of a loved one.

Make a Memorial Gift

Demonstrate how much that special person meant to you and believed in public higher education by giving a gift in his or her memory.

Underwrite an Annual Event

The annual Salute to Excellence dinner, Gold Star Gala and Scholarship Open golf tournament offer a wide range of giving opportunities to highlight your business or organization and support MCC in creative ways.

Consider Planned Giving

Incorporate philanthropy into your overall personal estate plan. MCC Foundation representatives will work with you and your financial advisor to achieve your goals, benefit your personal financial position and that of your family and supplement your retirement income.

Benefit from a Charitable Gift Annuity

By transferring assets to the MCC Foundation, you may receive tax advantages and increase your retirement income while helping students succeed at MCC.
