Miami Dade College is guided by the philosophy of our founder, Colonel Mitchell Wolfson, to create a vibrant community for all of us by educating Miami-Dade County’s current and future residents. MDC Foundation was chartered in 1965 by the state of Florida as a non-profit organization. The Wolfson family has supported the College since its founding in 1960, and today, is still one of the College's greatest benefactors.
The Foundation takes its role as steward of individual and corporate donor contributions very seriously and an Investment Committee comprised of investment professionals ensures that the underlying assets of the Foundation are managed wisely. Each year, our funds are audited by a certified public accounting firm. Review our most recent audited financial statements.
In 2007-2008, MDC received $190.9 million from the state. This annual support has steadily dropped to $176 million in 2017-2018.
