Types of Gifts

A gift of cash is greatly appreciated and available for use by the College immediately and, in most cases, is fully deductible for donors who itemize their federal income taxes. Check donations should be made payable to the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation (MCCF). For more information please call the Office of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement at (480) 461-7200.

One of the easiest ways to make a gift to MCC is via a credit or debit card through our secure giving form. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring annual, quarterly, or monthly gift.

A gift of appreciated securities may reduce your income and estate taxes in the long term. These types of gifts may be deducted at the full amount on the day of transfer to the College. Please call the Office of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement at (480) 461-7200 for more information.

Endowments help to commend student achievement and promote academic excellence now and in the future. To create an endowed fund a gift of $10,000 or greater is required. Endowed funds are professionally invested and managed and the interest from them provides reliable, yearly funds for programs, services, and scholarships at MCC.
