MWCC Foundation Inc.
The MWCC Foundation, Inc. supports the college’s mission by providing much needed financial support for students and programs. Founded in 1971, the foundation is a private, nonprofit organization and is tax exempt under Section 501(C) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, donations are tax-deductible. The foundation is independent of the state higher education system, and so is ideally positioned to be more responsive to local needs for scholarship aid and program development. Its board of directors represents a wide spectrum of business and community leaders from the local area.
