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.

Our mission is to support Montcalm Community College’s efforts to anticipate and address community needs through relationship cultivation and resource stewardship.

Planned Giving

Planned giving, also known as legacy giving, is any major gift made in a lifetime or at death as part of a donor's overall financial and/or estate planning. Planned giving allows donors to support nonprofits with larger gifts than could usually be made from ordinary income.

Gifts of Stock

When making a gift of stock, you can contact MCCF Executive Director Lisa Lund in advance to ensure you have all the information needed for your transaction.

Employee Payroll Deductions

Montcalm Community College staff and faculty can fill out an online Employee Payroll Deduction form to schedule payroll deductions, making it even easier to contribute to the MCC Foundation.

Qualified Charitable Distribution

A qualified charitable contribution (QCD) is a distribution from a Traditional or Roth IRA made directly by the IRA Trustee to a qualified charitable organization when the IRA owner is age 70 1/2 or older. A QCD may satisfy the client's required minimum distribution (RMD) and up to $100,000 of QCD's may be excluded annually from an individual's taxable income. The MCC Foundation is an eligible organization. Please consult your financial advisor for more information about this type of giving opportunity.

Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple and tax-efficient way to support MCC students and programs. Contact your fund administrator to recommend a grant to the Montcalm Community College Foundation. Please indicate the scholarship, program, or fund you wish to support. For assistance with your gift designation, contact the MCCF at (989) 328-1284.
