Mira Costa College Foundation

The foundation offers emergency grants and basic needs support that have a proven, immediate impact on student success. Our data on persistence from spring 2020 to spring 2022 is unequivocal: students who receive these funds are far more likely to continue their studies and earn their degree or certificate; direct student support is one of the most effective ways to make an impact through philanthropy. This isn't just short-term relief; it's a long-lasting investment in academic persistence and future opportunities.
