Thank you for considering a gift to MWCC Foundation, Inc. All gifts make a great impact and are greatly appreciated. Your gift can be made as a one-time contribution or a multi-year pledge to maximize the size of your contribution. The foundation year runs from July 1 through June 30.
Designating Your Gift: Restricted or Unrestricted
Unrestricted gifts allow the college to immediately use your gift to provide support to areas of greatest need. Restricted gifts allow you to designate your gift to a program, department, or project. Restricted gifts are held in trust for their designated purposes. If given for an endowment, your gift can begin gaining usable earnings. Many donors do both with multiple gifts.
How You Can Give
Individuals may contribute cash through an annual gift or pledge. Gifts include cash, checks, and credit cards (Discover, Mastercard, and Visa are accepted), appreciated securities, personal property or real estate. Examples of planned gifts include charitable trusts, gift annuities, bequests and will provisions, and paid-up life insurance policies. Another option is a matching gift through which corporations match gifts made by their employees.
All gifts should be made payable to: MWCC Foundation, Inc.
