Sponsorships
Montcalm Community College will consider requests for sponsorships or contributions for not-for-profit organizations. We will consider sponsorship applications from local or regional organizations whose proposals impact Montcalm Community College’s service area. Priority will be given to local activities.
The MCC Sponsorship Program is managed by MCC’s Communications Team. Contact MCC Communications Director Shelly Springborn at shellys@montcalm.edu or 989-328-1243 for additional information.
