The MPC Foundation provides opportunities for students in Monterey County to attend college, and helps to ensure their experience at MPC is the best it can be. We accomplish this by providing financial support to students, and by investing resources to complement the college’s programs, faculty and staff, and facilities.

Financial support to students includes scholarships, textbook assistance, and emergency assistance/drop-out prevention. Our signature program is the Evans College Incentive Program, which has helped nearly 500 local youth who otherwise may never have gone to college to enroll full-time at MPC.

Our investments in the campus are often achieved by securing Federal, State, and local grant funds. We also provide grants to faculty and staff through our Faculty & Staff Advancement program.

The Foundation is governed by a 24-member volunteer board, including influential community leaders and six representatives from the campus community. The office staff includes six professionals who collectively work to implement the Board’s strategic vision for the Foundation.
