#GivingTuesday – December 3, 2024

Every year, hundreds of millions of people come together to celebrate the spirit of generosity. Merced College celebrates with our community to be a part of the movement on this global day of giving.

Ways to Give

All of our donors are investors in the success of our students. All gifts are important and will be acknowledged in writing and included in a future Merced College Foundation publication. You can join us in this important effort with a tax deductible donation.

Gifts to the Merced College Foundation can be designated for specific programs or unrestricted to address the greatest needs. Your charitable support helps us continue providing quality education, and we thank you on behalf of our students for your generosity.

Give Now!

Give the gift of education by establishing a scholarship with the Merced College Foundation. Your donation supports nearly $100,000 in scholarships, student projects, campus beautification, and more, impacting thousands of students. Community contributions like yours help us fulfill our educational mission and change lives every day.

Our goal is participation—every gift matters. The Merced College Employee Giving Campaign highlights the power of individual contributions, with 100% of donations directly supporting programs for students and employees. Together, we can make a significant impact.
