Ways to Give

There are many ways to give in support of North Central's students and programs.

If you'd like to make a gift via check, make your check out to the NCMC Foundation and send it to:

NCMC Foundation
1515 Howard St.
Petoskey, MI 49770

Please indicate the fund you'd like to support in the memo.

Making a gift with a credit card is instant and simple with our online giving form.  Use the dropdown menu to select the fund you'd like to support.  If the fund you're looking for isn't listed, choose "Other" and indicate your preferred fund or project.  You may also choose to make your support a recurring, monthly gift.

Establishing an endowment fund is one of the most powerful ways you can support our students, programs and facilities over time.  Endowed funds provide sustainable financial support to be used in perpetuity.  

For more information about making an impact through establishing an endowment, please contact Vice President for Advancement Chelsea Platte at 231-348-6621.

In prior years, the rules that permitted QCDs required reauthorization from Congress each year, and those decisions were sometimes made late in the calendar year. With passage of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, the QCD provision is now a permanent part of the Internal Revenue Code. This means you can plan your charitable giving and begin reviewing your tax situation earlier each year.
