Making a gift to MCC can be done in a variety of ways. One way might be more helpful to you at a particular time in your life than another. As you make financial plans, we recommend that you consult with your attorney or financial advisor.

Gifts of Cash
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.
Credit Card Gifts

We greatly appreciate your support of MCC. Before you make your secure gift online, there are a few things we would like you to know:

If you wish to donate to a specific fund or program, please click here to go to our Alumni & Friends giving form, select "other" and then specify the fund or program.

Once you’ve made your gift, you’ll receive an e-confirmation from Christos Chronis, Development Director, acknowledging that your contribution has been received.

Making a gift is easy and safe with a credit card. MCC accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. You can set up payments to be spread out over a year or more. Should you encounter any problems, please contact the Office of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement directly at 480-461-7200, or philanthropy@mesacc.edu and we’ll be happy to work with you.

Thank you for supporting MCC and its students.

Gifts of Securities

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.

Gifts to Create Endowed Funds

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.

Want to recognize the achievements of someone you love? We accept naming rights for individuals, families, and honors groups. Share the accomplishments of someone who has done something amazing and inspire students at MCC to follow in their footsteps.
