Opportunities for Giving
The Forward Fund
This fund moves the college forward by funding scholarships, Innovation Grants for faculty, staff and students, facility enhancements, and other special projects. Gifts to the Forward Fund are spent in the year received.
The Foundation Endowment
The Foundation's undesignated endowment fund represents an important long-term strategy to insure that funding is always available to support initiatives identified by the leadership of the College and the Foundation. Each year earnings from the endowment are designated by the Foundation Board to support scholarships, grants, and a host of other needs identified by the College. Donating to the endowment helps assure that support for the ever-changing needs of MATC will be available far into the future.
Named scholarships
You can establish a scholarship by choosing from several funding options:
- Endowed scholarships provide a perpetual income to fund scholarships. A minimum gift of $10,000 (which may be made over several years) is necessary to establish an endowed scholarship. A portion of the earnings is spent each year.
- Annual scholarships provide scholarships for both full- and part-time students each year. A minimum annual gift of $500 per year for three years is necessary to establish an annual named scholarship.
- Program scholarships: gifts of any amount can be made to support students in a specific career program. Smaller gifts are pooled to create program scholarships.
- Loan and grant accounts support students needing special assistance. You can start a grant or loan fund or add to an existing fund.
Program Scholarships and Learning Enhancement
The Foundation provides scholarships to students across the full range of programs from Automotive Technology to the Zach Peterson-GED Test Fund at Portage... and 150 others! There are also accounts that enhance programs through equipment purchases, as well as student and faculty career development. Go to the List of Funds to see the opportunities available for program support. New funds may also be established.
