Underwrite an Annual Event

Golf Tournament, there are a number of opportunities to highlight your business or organization and support MVCC in creative ways.

Make a Contribution to Honor a Love One

Celebrate a special occasion or remember a loved one by honoring them with a gift to the MVCC Foundation.

Consider Gift Planning

One of the most powerful ways to make a difference in the lives of our students for years
to come is through a gift in your will.

For additional information, visit our online Guide to Gift Planning or contact Deanna Ferro-Aurience at 315-792-5555 or dferro-aurience@mvcc.edu.

Gifts In Kind

Gifts in kind are a form of giving in which, instead of giving money to buy goods and services, those products or services are themselves given. In the past, MVCC has received gifts in kind that include airplanes, office furnishings, and equipment.

Employee Payroll Deduction

If you are an MVCC employee and wish to, you can make your gift through payroll deduction.

Matching Gifts

You may be able to double or even triple the impact of your gift if you or your spouse’s employer participates in a Corporate Matching Gifts program. Simply speak with your human resources or personnel office about obtaining a gift match form and include the completed form with your contribution.
