Why Give

A college degree is essential in today’s economy, yet many Monterey County residents lack the ability to attend or graduate from college. MPC is an excellent starting point for high school graduates and returning students, with many degree and certificate offerings that lead to significantly improved career options and the ability to transfer to a four-year university with far less expense.

Gifts to the MPC Foundation provide access to college, keep students on track to graduate, and ultimately lead to a more educated, productive community for us all.

Legacy Giving

Remembering MPC with a legacy gift ensures the future of our students.

By making a planned gift of any kind, you become a member of the MPC Foundation’s Legacy Society. Of course, you may do this anonymously, but it is helpful to inform the Foundation so that we may understand the vision and objectives of your gift as expressed to us during your lifetime.

An overview of some of the most common options is provided below; however, we encourage you to consult your own legal and/or financial advisors to discuss the various planned giving vehicles that make the most sense for your circumstances before committing to a charitable gift.
