The World Affairs Council of Monterey Bay is thrilled to be selected for the 2025 MCGives! Campaign.  Monterey County Gives! is a collaboration between the Community Foundation for Monterey County, the MC Weekly and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation.  Last year, over $14 million was raised to support local nonprofit organizations like WACMB. Each nonprofit receives 100% of donations plus a pro rata match,thanks to local donors and matching fund sponsors.Donations to WACMB via MCGives! support Academic World Quest, inspiring high school students and teachers across the United States to embrace a culture of global engagement.

WACMB, in partnership with the Monterey County Office of Education, will hold its 4th Annual AWQ competition on February 14, 2026, and, with your help, send the winning team to Washington DC in April to compete with over 30 high school teams from across the country for the National Championship.
