Your investment in Madisonville Community College will make a significant impact on the lives of our students, and the businesses and communities we serve.

Private sector investments provide a critical margin of support that enables MCC to pursue excellence in classroom instruction, training for business and industry, continuing education, cultural enrichment, community service, and economic development.

We consider it an honor to recognize our benefactors who have invested significantly in our mission and vision. Your name, or the name of someone you wish to honor, will be recognized in a special way for your support of the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign for MCC as outlined in this brochure. Additional naming opportunities may be developed at your request; the college is now developing recognition for donations associated with Fulfilling the Promise and one for all donors who have made commitments at specific levels. MCC also offers a number of named endowed academic positions for college faculty and endowed scholarships.

MCC's Endowment is an aggregation of gifts provided by donors with the requirement they be held and invested in perpetuity to generate earnings now and in future years to support the donor's intended purpose. Annual income generated by endowments can be used to support faculty and students, programs, and/or operational needs of MCC.

An endowed chair is a distinction awarded to a faculty member in recognition of significant contributions to the individual's academic discipline. An endowed chair may also be held by the current chair or director of an academic division. In addition to the academic honor given to the individual, an endowed chair or professorship provides funding for support of his or her teaching, research, and service responsibilities, and is supported by annual income from a permanently invested endowment fund. Income may also be used to support the base salary of the endowed chair or professorship, unless expressly prohibited by the donor or gift agreement.

An endowed lectureship is a temporary appointment and may be given to a visiting scholar in temporary residence or may be used to support a lecture series on the topic for which the lectureship was created.

MCC will name endowed scholarships to support students enrolled in a postsecondary degree program. Donors may designate the name, purpose and criteria for awarding scholarships from the income generated by the endowment. A minimum gift of $10,000 is required to establish a scholarship endowment; a minimum gift of $20,000 is recommended if the donor wishes to distribute income in the endowment's initial twelve months.

A variety of naming opportunities are available on all three campuses of Madisonville Community College. MCC plans to build a 40,000-square-foot Applied Technology building to provide the infrastructure for electronics, electricity, machine tool, heating and air conditioning, CAD and other applied technology curricula. This facility will make enrollment in technical courses at both the secondary and postsecondary levels possible. The College's workforce development programs, as well as the regionally recognized ACE2 Basic Education Program, will be housed in this facility. The consolidation of programs and administrative units will facilitate community partnerships, enhance economic development efforts and improve the efficiency for delivery of technical degree programs.
