ANNUAL FUND

If you’ve ever taken a course, earned one of our degrees, met or employed any of our students or graduates, we believe you’ve experienced the impact of private giving to MCC and the annual fund. Gifts generated by the Annual Fund fill the void between tuition and State revenue. Annual Fund gifts ensure access for success to all students through scholarships and emergency assistance, state-of-the-art laboratories through new equipment; library acquisitions; program development and so much more.

The Annual Fund provides a yearly opportunity for our alumni, parents, friends, businesses, organizations, foundations, employees and emeriti to invest in the mission of Manatee Community College. Your gifts, combined with those of others, make a significant impact on an MCC education. As a contributor to the Annual Fund, you may earmark your support as unrestricted to be used to meet the priority needs of the College or you may designate it to any academic department, athletics, the Library, scholarships, buildings, or whatever area you choose.

There are numerous ways to make an Annual Fund gift. Whether you join one of our Gift Clubs, make a gift online or through a special event, keep in mind, your gift may be eligible for a match – that’s right – you have the power to double or even triple the value of your impact on MCC!

The State of Florida through one of its matching programs permits the Foundation to submit all gifts annually for a match. Gifts to any of the Facilities Challenge Match program are eligible for a dollar for dollar match as are gifts to scholarships. All other gifts are eligible for matching at 66.67%!

Please make your gift online now or follow one of the links below to learn more about how you can play a significant role helping us be an EXTRAordinary college.

"Working with the Foundation is a great way to invest in the future of our community. If you want your donation to have the greatest impact on MCC, make it unrestricted! We will use it for our most pressing needs, opportunities, and developments."

Member, Foundation Board of Directors
