The Maricopa County Community College District Foundation (MCCCDF) was established in 1997 as the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization designated by the Maricopa County Community College District to receive and manage gifts on behalf of its 10 colleges. The Foundation actively seeks contributions from a variety of private sources including individuals, corporations, and foundations and believes that everyone has the opportunity to improve their lives through education. MCCCDF works to fulfill this vision with its mission to boldly impact the community through innovative and strategic partnerships for the growth and benefit of the Maricopa Community Colleges, its students, faculty, and staff.

The Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation provides support for scholarships, programs and services on behalf of the 10 Maricopa Community Colleges, skill centers and satellite centers. The Foundation plays an integral role in impacting not only the lives of our more than 93,000 students, but also addresses the needs of local businesses and industries by paving the way for the Maricopa Community Colleges to become even more of an important resource in the community.
