Donate to the MGCCC Foundation

What We Do

The Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Foundation, Inc., is a nonprofit founded to establish and administer endowment funds to extend educational services within the MGCCC district (Stone, George, Jackson, and Harrison counties).

Ways to Give

Direct Scholarship Donations

Provide a direct donation to the MGCCC Foundation Scholarship Fund

Become a Member

A minimum investment of $250, with an option to pay over a five-year period, entitles you to become a member of the Foundation.

Memorials

Make a contribution to the MGCCC Foundation in memory of a friend or relative in lieu of floral tributes.

Walk of Honor

Purchase bricks that may be inscribed with the name of veterans, loved ones or friends. This will become a permanent part of the Perkinston Campus and the Gregory War Memorial Chapel.

Bequests

Memorialize a loved one by establishing, through your will, a scholarship in his or her name. A part of your estate or a particular piece of property may be invested in this way.

Trust Agreements

Trusts of many types may be worked out. Your attorney is the best person to advise you on the kind of trust to establish and the tax advantages.

Investment Securities

Stocks and bonds held for more than six months may be the easiest and most advantageous way to invest. If the securities have gained in value, you can avoid the capital gains tax and also claim a deduction for the fair market value. If the securities have depreciated, you may sell them and invest the proceeds, since you can take a tax loss on the drop in value and also deduct the proceeds as a charitable contribution.
