About the Foundation

In 1977, the McDowell Technical Community College Foundation, Inc. was created to enrich resource development and enhance the quality of college life by procurement of gifts from the private sector. The Foundation operates under the auspices of a Board of Directors who plan and conduct fundraising projects, pledge campaigns, special events and related projects. Foundation members also manage scholarship funds and manage or contract for management and investment of Foundation funds.
