MCC Foundation

Since being established in 1981, the MCC Foundation has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to support the college in its mission of transforming lives through quality education. Some ways this is accomplished include providing academic scholarships to MCC students, funding institutional grants for innovative initiatives, and leading significant capital campaigns.
