About the MCC Foundation

Planned Giving

Planned gifts help donors become philanthropists. Also known as “legacy gifts,” they are arranged today but generally come to MCCF after your lifetime. Some examples include designating a gift in your will or listing the MCC Foundation as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or IRA. For complete information about gift options, how to create your plan and to read other donor's stories, visit our Planned Giving site. 

Other Ways to Give

• Memorials and Honor Gifts - When you want to honor a loved one in a lasting way, memorial or honor contributions may be sent to the MCC Foundation in their name. Our helpful staff will assist you in tracking and acknowledging these caring remembrances. Contact us at 531-MCC-2346 with any questions you may have.
• Gifts in Kind - To donate materials or equipment for one of our educational programs, please contact us. Examples of gifts in kind include books, photography equipment, tools and machinery.
• Matching Gifts - If your employer, or your spouse’s employer has a program that matches all or a part of qualifying donations, you can double or even triple the value of your gift. Check with your Human Resources department to see if your employer matches gifts.
• Stocks, Real Estate and Gifts of Property - MCCF welcomes gifts of appreciated stocks and securities, real estate and personal property. We would be glad to assist you in making these types of donations.

Submit your contact information. The MCC Foundation Staff will contact you shortly.
