More than 100,000 people have spent time in MCCC classrooms pursuing higher knowledge. Anyone
who has ever done so -- for career preparation, general interest, career change, or professional
enhancement -- can remember vividly that first semester when everything seemed to be in a whirl
as our lives were turned on end by the demands of a college schedule. So many careers have begun,
been enhanced, or altogether re-started and lifestyles altered because of a course, a major
program of study, or a lifetime of occasional courses taken at Mercer County Community College.

Ways of Giving

All contributions should be made
payable to or deliverable to:
MCCC Foundation
P.O. Box B
1200 Old Trenton Road
Trenton, NJ 08690

Your gifts sustain the tradition of generosity fostered from one Mercer generation to the next. When
reflecting on your Mercer experience, it's always nice to remember that donations from alumni, businesses,
and foundations helped to make your education affordable for you. Now, your gifts can provide that same
help for current and future students. That's a family tradition -- one generation helping those that follow.
As an MCCC alumnus, you have a variety of opportunities to support your "first" alma mater. Please contact
the College Advancement office at (609) 570-3250 to discuss your interests.
Endowed Giving
Contributions of $10,000 or more can be used to establish an endowed fund, which will utilize the interest only
from the principle for projects, programs or scholarships in any given year, thereby preserving the ability to
make future awards from the fund. The interest derives from the investment of the principle amount and is based
on the current market yield. Investments are managed by the Finance Committee of the MCCC Foundation.
Designated Giving
Contributions made for a specific purpose are placed in restricted fund accounts and used only for that purpose.
Minimum amounts of $100 are required to establish and award a designated scholarship in any academic year. In the
case where funds are donated and the amount exceeds the desired purpose for any given year, the remaining funds
earn interest. Designated scholarships are many times created to honor someone, memorialize a special person, or
provide support for students preparing for a certain career.
Unrestricted Giving
Contributions made to the MCCC Foundation for general, unspecified purposes are classified as unrestricted giving.
These gifts are used to address important needs of the college, its programs and its students. Unrestricted
donations for scholarships become part of the General Scholarship Fund which provides awards to students based
on financial need. Priority areas for awarding General Scholarships are identified each year by the MCCC Financial
Aid Office, and are adopted each year through voting action the MCCC Foundation. All General Fund Scholarships are
awarded in the academic year the donation is received.

Advisory Commissions provide advice regarding established programs of study and serve as a communication link
between the college and the community and between the college and professional, occupational, or special service
groups. They acquaint the community with available college resources and the college with community needs. In
addition to providing advice, commission members identify technical information, equipment, and facilities necessary
to establish or to modify programs so that they will remain up-to-date. The backgrounds of commission members
reflect the professional expertise necessary for each of the commissions.
