Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The MCC Foundation was established in 1983 to allow private donors the opportunity to support student success and program excellence at MCC. As a friend or graduate of MCC, you understand the value of a high-quality education, the need to have that education accessible in our community and the importance to our local economy of having a well-trained workforce. Our Every Bright Future Needs a Strong Foundation campaign, launched in 2010, transformed the scholarship program at MCC. The campaign raised $52.5 million, surpassing its historic $50 million goal and helped to ensure every MCC student has the financial support they need to earn their degree or certificate. Thanks to generous supporters we’re able to continue that support.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Philanthropy
Increasing numbers of astute philanthropists have already recognized that private support is essential if MCC is to thrive, remain affordable, and maintain its margin of excellence. Contributions - intellectual, emotional, and financial - will bequeath a precious legacy for the 21st century while helping to assure a healthy future for all the citizens of Monroe County.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Through our Every Bright Future Needs a Strong Foundation initiative, the MCC Foundation works to ensure deserving students receive the scholarship support they need to be successful and complete their plan of study at MCC. Because 90 percent of MCC career program graduates who are employed full-time remain in greater Rochester, this initiative also ensures that MCC remains a force behind our region's economic stability and workforce development.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
To continue to increase the amount of support available to MCC students, the MCC Foundation works with donors to expand the number of scholarships available; 11 new scholarship funds were established last year. The Foundation also works with donors to increase the amount of funds available in existing scholarships. The goal of the Every Bright Future initiative is to grow the organization's endowment to $50 million to support students' scholarship needs in perpetuity.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The MCC Foundation has a dynamic board comprised of 54 of greater Rochester's business and community leaders. Led by Executive Director Diane Shoger and supported by the Foundation staff, the MCC Foundation has a comprehensive fundraising program that incorporates annual giving, planned giving, major gifts and special events. The Foundation's strategic plan guides the fundraising plan annually.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The MCC Foundation helped the college launch Scholarships Online, making all MCC scholarships available via an online portal that every student can access to apply. The number of students who are awarded scholarships continues to grow however, the number of applicants still far outnumber the scholarships available. The MCC Foundation continues to work to meet that need.
