By definition, an endowed scholarship is one in which the principal remains intact and only the interest is given away each year. The Foundation Director will work with the donors to establish the selection criteria for their scholarships and may rest assured that their wishes will be carried out explicitly. By selecting any of the planned giving opportunities listed below, you will join many donors who have already discovered how to maximize the value of their estates, maintain financial security, and ensure the future of the important work carried out through the Contra Costa College Foundation. Click on any of the five planned giving opportunities below for more information. At present, my funds are committed, but I want to help the college.
Bequests offer the opportunity to give now while paying later.
Naming the Contra Costa College Foundation as a beneficiary in your will can enrich the lives of untold generations of students through gifts influencing the future. Wills can be amended through a simple supplement called a codicil without the necessity of redoing the original testament. Your estate will also receive a charitable estate tax deduction for the full amount of the gift. Such a gift plan is called a deferred or planned gift. There are several ways to contribute funds to the Foundation, receive life-time income, avoid capital gains, and benefit from a charitable income tax deduction.
