Why Community College Philanthropy Is Changing

July 22, 2026 Mordecai Brownlee

In the latest episode of Discovering Your Mission with Dr. Mordecai, Dr. Mordecai sits down with Meg Natter, Director of Community Colleges and Foundations at CASE, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

Together, Dr. Mordecai and Meg explore why community colleges are increasingly attracting the attention of major donors, corporations, and foundations. They also discuss the evolving role of the college president, the importance of strong partnerships between presidents and advancement leaders, and why successful foundations must do more than raise money.

The conversation also challenges institutions to move beyond transactional fundraising. Meg explains that today’s donors are seeking meaningful relationships, measurable impact, and opportunities to invest in solutions that expand economic mobility, strengthen the workforce, and remove barriers to student success.

Watch the full episode of Discovering Your Mission with Dr. Mordecai featuring Meg Natter and discover why the future of community college philanthropy will be built through relationships, strategy, institutional leadership, and a shared commitment to changing lives.
