Community leaders directly support the academic success of our students through their philanthropy. Donors include faculty, staff, community members, foundations, and corporate partners who give of their time, talent and treasure.
MiraCosta College recognizes philanthropists for their longevity in giving and their impact on student success. Awardees are recognized at the College’s Spring Celebration of Excellence recognition event and in the fall at the Annual Community Leaders Breakfast: Report to the Region.
Please join us in celebrating those who give back and truly change lives!
