Ways to Contribute |
Cash - The most common method of giving that provides instant support for both restricted and unrestricted needs throughout the college.
Scholarships - Donors can endow and name a scholarship to honor an individual, business, or organization. For a minimum gift of $10,000, a named scholarship can be established in perpetuity to provide annual scholarship support for deserving students.
In-Kind - These gifts include equipment, merchandise, property, etc. in lieu of a cash contribution. In-kind instructional equipment directly benefits the college’s programs.
Securities - Negotiable securities, i.e. appreciated stock held for more than one yea provide tax savings for donors and support for DTC. Gifts of stock eliminate capital gains tax while offering a tax deduction for full fair-market value on the date of the gift.
Deferred Gifts - Bequests, wills, trusts, annuities, real estate, and gifts of life insurance provide substantial support for future use.
Matching Gifts - Donors can increase the value of their cash and in-kind gifts through matching programs. Click on TechMatch or Corporate Matches for information.
