Outright Gifts

Gifts of cash, appreciated securities (shares of stock or mutual funds), or other property; these gifts provide immediate financial assistance.

Pledges

A pledge is a formal declaration of intent to make a gift to the TCC Foundation. It may be followed by an immediate gift or it may confirm your intention to make a gift in the future. Many donors choose to complete their gift pledge by making regular annual payments over a five-year pledge period.

Gifts in Honor, Gifts in Memory

Gifts may be made in honor or memory of a loved one, a friend or colleague, or a business, or to commemorate a special occasion.

Endowment

An endowment is a fund that is set aside for a specific purpose. The principal of the gift is invested and earnings are used to fulfill the purpose of the endowment. A gift to an endowment demonstrates your long-term commitment.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts are gift arrangements that have specific tax advantages and often include lifetime income to the donor or a beneficiary(ies) named by the donor. A planned gift maximizes your giving potential and can even allow you to ensure your future financial security or that of a loved one.
