Recipient Story

Meet Rosa, a 2019 MCC graduate who, while taking classes as a Burlington High School student, also earned three Associate Degrees, graduating from college before high school!

“My experience with MCC has really been amazing. I do not regret the decision to come here because everyone is so helpful. I liked the smaller classroom feel, and it sets up a foundation for post-secondary education.”

Gifts that make an impact after your lifetime:

Planned Giving

An increasingly popular form of providing support is through planned giving. This takes many forms, including bequests, living trusts, and life insurance. Please seek advice from your financial planner to explore this option.

Benefits:

Your donations are fully exempt from estate tax.
Current and possibility of future income tax deduction.
This will allow you to leave your family other assets that carry less tax liability.

Endowments

Endowments comprise a significant share of the scholarship and program support provided by the MCC Foundation. The scholarship can be in your name or a loved one’s name and can be designated to support a specific department. To guarantee that income from the endowment will always be sufficient to support the donor’s vision, a minimum support level of $25,000 has been established that can be paid over a five year period. The original principal is preserved, and only the return on investment (interest) up to a defined percentage is spent.

Benefit: It has the estate tax benefits of a gift, but your family keeps the property.
