Ways to Give
Pay tribute to a loved one
Memorial or honorary gifts can be a meaningful way to commemorate a loved one or celebrate a personal milestone while benefiting NH’s community colleges.
You can make a gift in memory or honor of someone special by giving to an existing fund or establishing a named fund for a particular purpose.
Add to an Existing Fund
- Annual Fund – Unrestricted contributions in any amount can be made to the Annual Fund to help a college meet its greatest needs.
- Scholarship Fund – Contributions to a college’s Scholarship Fund provide financial assistance to deserving students.
- Designated Gifts – Please contact us to support an existing fund.
Establish a Named Fund
A named fund can be a wonderful way to commemorate a loved one or personal milestone—a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or retirement. Dollar thresholds vary depending on the type of fund created.
- Expendable Funds are held in cash and designed to be spent down. The minimum to establish a named expendable fund is $10,000.
- Endowed Funds are invested and provide annual support, in perpetuity, to carry out a designated purpose. The minimum to establish a named endowment is $25,000.
