Employee Giving
As a Madison College employee, you can give a set amount per paycheck to one of the Madison College Foundation’s funds. This includes scholarships, emergency grants, and student support.
You can make a difference in the lives of students through donations to the Madison College Foundation. Your support means supporting someone’s chance to realize their dream of higher education. Every gift to the Foundation is an investment in the future and impacts our students and community.
