Foundation
The Foundations mission is to enrich and empower its students and the community it serves is the mission of Motlow State Community College. To achieve that mission the college needs help to reach beyond the opportunities available through ever-shrinking state and federal tax support.
The Motlow College Foundation works to provide that extra financial assistance necessary to provide the citizens of Motlow's eleven-county service area with the quality education they deserve. Founded in 1979, the Motlow College Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation committed to providing a helping hand.
The Foundation is not seeking private support to help the college survive, but to serve as a catalyst for the self-improvement of those in the service area who need it. The Foundation, its officers and its 70 trustees work with members of the communities in each of the eleven counties to raise funds for student scholarships, loans, grants, awards and other special college needs. It helps to close the breach created by dwindling tax support, giving students and faculty additional support in critical times. Its mission is fundamental to the basic mission of the college.
If you decide to include Motlow Foundation in your financial plan, you will, in the truest sense of the word, have invested in the future. Our community benefits from your contribution.
For some, Motlow College provides the cornerstone of their careers-careers that utilize state-of-the-art technologies that can be learned through courses offered by the college. Contributions to the Foundation help supplement funds earmarked for the high-tech equipment the college needs to provide quality training. It is this training that helps to make strong the work force of our service area.
For others, education at Motlow offers an avenue out of poverty's vicious circle, a circle that forces them to work more than one job to support their families, yet provides no financial ability to pursue further education to rise beyond poverty level.
Supporting the Moltow College Foundation is an investment in your community and in its citizens. Some of the ways which businesses as well as individuals can help the Motlow College Foundation in its mission to support academic opportunity and programs include:
- Scholarships - Donations are welcomed for students in all academic programs.
- Unrestricted Gifts - These are needed for a variety of projects for which additional funding is needed such as emergency loans to students, the purchase of books and equipment, and guest speakers and lecturers.
- In-Kind Gifts - Many types of equipment and supplies are welcomed and are useful for instructional purposes.
- Securities or Real Property - These may be donated in several ways to provide the greatest benefit, both for the college and for the donor.
- A Bequest, Tax-saving Trust, Insurance, other Estate Plans - The Foundation encourages these gifts.
