Giving Opportunities
There are several funding opportunities in which a donor may support the WCTC Foundation. These options have been developed to meet the needs of our many donors:
Endowments
This is an excellent tool for making a perpetual scholarship gift. An investment of $10,000 establishes a named endowment to benefit a specific category of students or a field of study that has been chosen by the donor. To accomplish this goal, gift commitments may be completed over a 5-year period. Scholarships are awarded beginning the semester after the $10,000 goal is reached.
Named Scholarships
This type of scholarship is established to recognize a particular individual or organization. The purpose of the scholarship may be designated specifically by the donor. Honorary and memorial scholarships usually define a field of interest specifically related to the donor’s motivation. All named scholarships are promoted to students with information about the source of funding and purpose of the scholarship.
Advised Funds
Advised Funds are used to support specific programs or a department or division and/or the support of students enrolled at WCTC. Donors designating their gifts to an Advised Fund may restrict their gift to student assistance, staff development, materials, equipment, supplies, etc.
WCTC Staff
Employees can show their support for the WCTC Foundation through contributions and payroll deductions using a WCTC Staff Pledge Card. These pledge cards may be obtained in the Foundation Office.
