Endowment

Establish a Named Endowed Scholarship

Endowments provide financial stability and are invested for long-term growth - providing permanent support.

A gift or multi-year pledge starting at $25,000 via gifts of cash or securities, and oftentimes planned gifts, can establish a named endowed fund. 

Endowed funds create a lasting legacy. The principal of your gift is invested into perpetuity for long-term growth. After the first year, a portion of the interest will generate annual scholarships while a portion is reinvested to increase impact over time. Over the years, the market value of your scholarship endowment will grow, providing permanent and increased funding for student scholarships. The Foundation spends 5% of the total endowment value annually, based on the Board’s Investment and Spend Policy.

Donors receive heartfelt letters from the students they support.

Your gift to the General Scholarship Endowment creates lasting impact. The fund is invested to generate ongoing scholarship support year after year, and thanks to many generous contributions, it continues to grow and help more students succeed.

In addition, MiraCosta currently has more than 100 annual and endowed scholarship funds to which you may donate. You can contribute online to an existing fund, and if you can't find the fund to which you would like to donate, use the "other" field to specify the fund.
