Ways of Giving to the Foundation

Gifts of Cash

Donors may give unrestricted support to the College or select specific needs, such as scholarships or programs.  Cash contributions are tax deductible for donors who itemize deductions.

Charitable Gift Annuity

An extraordinary way to make a gift, increase income, and reduce taxes.  Through a consortium of other community colleges in the state, we are able to offer an option to those who want to make a significant gift while still retaining income from the gift during their lifetime.

Securities

Many donors prefer to give long-term appreciated securities rather than cash.  These gifts allow donors an immediate charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock, while entirely avoiding any tax on capital gain.

Gifts of Real Estate

In some cases, donors own property (often second homes or vacation property) that has appreciated significantly in value and may create a substantial tax liability.  If the property is no longer needed, a gift to the Foundation would provide an immediate and sizable tax deduction for the full current value of the property and would avoid the tax on the capital appreciation.

Life Insurance

Life insurance policies may be contributed with significant benefit to the donor.  This can often be a cost-effective way to make a gift.  The donor has certain responsibilities in this situation, so please call the Foundation for more information.

Deferred Gifts and Bequests

Wills, trusts and charitable annuities offer individuals the possibility of leaving a lasting legacy to support institutions in which they believe.  There are many benefits to the donor.  For example, gifts may create a permanent memorial, provide income for the donor and/or beneficiaries, and provide estate, income, and capital gains tax savi
