About the Foundation

Our vision at the MiraCosta College Foundation is educational opportunities for all. To achieve this vision, MiraCosta College Foundation partners with generous community members to secure resources that transform lives. 

Every year, thousands of students who enroll in MiraCosta College need financial support to succeed in school. Through the generosity of donors, last year the foundation provided financial support for more than 1,000 students, totaling more than $845,000.  

The MiraCosta College Foundation exceeded its $10 million comprehensive campaign goal to support student success, campus programs, and the MiraCosta College endowment. The foundation’s priority is to increase college affordability through our annual fund, scholarships, and President’s Circle. Donations provide scholarships and grants for tuition, educational materials, living expenses such as rental assistance or groceries, emergencies, and paid internships. 

With the rising cost of living and growing need for workforce development, our goal this year is to increase support to keep pace with student needs and their educational goals.  

The MiraCosta College Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to support MiraCosta College students and campus programs and governed by a volunteer board of directors. Your gift is tax-deductible as provided by the law.  

We are grateful to the employees, community members, businesses, civic groups, and foundations that support our students and campus programs through their generous gifts.
