The purpose of the Manistee Catholic Central School's Foundation is to solicit property/funds by way of gifts or bequests from any person, firm, trust, or corporation; to be held, administered, invested, and the principal and income of all such property received will be distributed solely to support the educational needs of MCC School.

Our goal is to ensure that the tradition of quality Catholic education in Manistee County continues.

The Foundation was established in 1984, and is a separate entity from Manistee Catholic Central School.  It has its own 501(c)(3) ruling from the Internal Revenue Service allowing it to receive gifts that are tax deductible to the donors, in accordance with the law. Up to 50% of adjusted gross income for individuals and up to 10% of net taxable income for corporations.

The Foundation Board is comprised of twenty one directors, chosen from the community.  These directors hold office for a three-year term on a staggered basis and are responsible for the management and growth of the Foundation.

The total contributions to Manistee Catholic Central School since the beginning of the Foundation through October, 2012 is $698,153.42.
