Scholarship Development
One of the primary missions of the Glen Oaks Community College Foundation is to develop scholarship funds. Over the past six years the GOCC Foundation has doubled the number and amount of our scholarships. We will assist donors in sculpting a scholarship that reflects the donors intent and interest to assist and benefit students. Donors have significant input as to preferences and criteria related to student eligibility for their scholarship.

In Kind Gifts
While rare, In-Kind Gifts are considered for acceptance by the Board of Directors. Such gifts may also qualify for tax deductions and/or credits.
Appreciated Property
Gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc., that have appreciated in value since their purchase continue to be an attractive gift vehicle for many donors. Such gifts can qualify for federal income tax deductions and can minimize a donor's capital gains tax liability.
Planned Gifts
Some individuals may wish to make a substantial commitment to Glen Oaks Community College but also wish to continue receiving income from their assets. The Glen Oaks Foundation can work with such donors to help them accomplish their objectives while helping this campaign.
Multiple-Year Pledges
Donors may desire to support a college program or activity utilizing a multi-year pledge. Donors who make multiple-year pledges will be sent pledge reminders monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, depending on the wishes of the donor.
