The Mitchell Community College Foundation and Endowment for Excellence exists to secure resources to support our students, faculty and staff. Our donors provide vital contributions that enable our institution to succeed--whether that be through financial aid, program funding, or unrestricted giving.
The Maverick Fund
The Mitchell Maverick Fund is our annual giving fund, designed to provide unrestricted, current-use dollars in support of college priorities. Gifts to the Maverick Fund are spent in full each year and target the areas of greatest need as determined by the college. Make a gift online to the Maverick Fund.
Scholarship Support
Our students regularly depend upon financial aid to help them achieve their potential in college. Scholarship gifts are critical to student success. Donors can support financial aid needs in a number of ways: through the OneMitchell Scholarship program, which provides unrestricted, current-use dollars; through creating a named, current-use scholarship; and through creating a named, endowed scholarship fund. To learn more about creating a named, current-use or endowed scholarship, please contact the Advancement Office.
Experiential Learning
We believe students learn best by doing, and there's no better way to provide those opportunities than by supporting research, travel, and professional experiences. Gifts to Experiential Learning provide current-use support for programs like Project Yellowstone, undergraduate research, and student internships or apprenticeships. Support experiential learning here, or contact the Advancement Office for more information.
The Dan and Jane Pardue Friends of the Arts Fund
Mitchell Community College celebrates a long history of visual and performing arts--including being home to the first nationally accredited music program in North Carolina. Our music and visual art programs depend on donor support to provide exceptional opportunities for students, bring in top-rate instructors, and host thrilling concerts and exhibitions for our community. Honoring the legacies of Dan and Jane Pardue, the Friends of the Arts fund is the primary support mechanism for donors to give to the arts and provides current-use support. Support the Friends of the Arts fund here.
Endowment for Excellence
Founded in 1997, the Mitchell Community College Endowment for Excellence provides sustaining, major support to the college. As an invested fund, the Endowment supplies a percentage of its earnings and value to Mitchell. Donors can make an unrestricted gift of any size to the Endowment for Excellence; to create a named, endowed fund, please contact the Advancement Office.

What Will You Leave Behind?
Your legacy. Have you ever thought about what that will be? Most of us would like to make a difference in the lives of our loved ones. We take steps to make sure they will be taken care of when we are no longer there.
Making a Difference
But what if you also want to make a difference in your community, or help to better society as a whole? Many people, when asked, say they would like to give more to charitable interest but they believe they must limit charitable giving in order to meet personal obligations. This need not be the case.
A Special Gift
Leaving a legacy can be easier than you think. One of the simplest ways to accomplish this goal is to make a gift in your will to a favorite charitable organization, in the same way you make a bequest to a loved one. You can leave a specific amount, a percentage, or a certain property. Or you can leave what remains after loved ones have been provided for.
Your Legacy
When you decide to provide for a final gift to an organization that you feel makes a difference in the world - one that will continue beyond your lifetime - that is a rewarding and meaningful legacy.
Making a Bequest
Did you know you can use your will or living trust to make a statement about your values, by including a bequest to Mitchell Community College to perpetuate the support you provided during your lifetime? Your bequest can be arranged to fund a particular program or establish an endowed scholarship that will provide financial assistance for generations to come.
The Benefits of a Bequest for You and Mitchell
Please let us know if you have included us in your estate plans so we may thank you in advance and welcome you to the Mitchell Legacy Circle.
For more information, please contact the Office for Advancement at (704) 878-4321.
