The Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Foundation was created to help assure educational excellence through charitable giving. Every year the DMACC Foundation receives generous gifts from DMACC Board members, our faculty and staff members, area businesses and service organizations, and many, many other friends. Some of these gifts to the Foundation enable us to offer scholarships to a number of our deserving students. Others help us acquire new instructional equipment or launch a special project. Gifts are also made to the college endowment which is essential to the long term sustainability of the Foundation's efforts.
