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.

Obituary Information

In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to The Foundation for New Hampshire Community Colleges in memory of [individual’s name] to support [name of specific college]. Please make checks payable to FNHCC and mail them to 26 College Drive, Concord, NH 03301.

Notice to Family Members/Honorees

Family members or honorees will be given the names and addresses of individuals who make a gift (individual gift amounts are not shared), should they wish to send personal acknowledgements.
