C3 ChallengeEnd of Year Contribution

Why Your Gift Matters

Midland College is leading a transformative effort to connect K–12 education with college, career, and long-term opportunity. By listening to our partners and responding to community needs, we built C3 – College & Career Connections as a bold, collaborative strategy to ensure every student can move confidently from learning to earning.

This year, The Fasken Foundation is launching the Midland College Foundation’s End-of-Year Campaign with a $50,000 Challenge Gift.

Their continued generosity reflects the spirit of Midland, neighbors investing in one another and building a stronger future together.

"Supporting the C3 initiative is about more than giving—it’s about investing in the future of Midland. When we come together as a community, we open doors for students to discover their strengths, pursue their dreams, and build meaningful careers right here at home. The Fasken Foundation is proud to help launch this year’s Challenge Gift, knowing every dollar inspires another and every gift changes a life. Together, we’re not just building a stronger workforce—we’re building hope, opportunity, and a brighter tomorrow for all of Midland."
