Matching Programs

Many companies set aside special funds each year to match contributions their employees make to qualified non-profit organizations. Most often, the companies match contributions dollar for dollar, but matches can vary. Check your company’s matching guidelines to increase the impact of your personal contribution.

Tangible Gifts

Gifts of Security or Property

The Northwest Florida State College Foundation can accept publicly traded securities, closely held securities, tangible personal property, and real estate gifts. Under most circumstances, these gifts will be sold upon receipt so that donors’ philanthropic visions can be realized quickly. However, these gifts must be reviewed by the Finance and Investment Committee prior to acceptance. Please see our gift acceptance policy for more information.

In-Kind Gifts

Many generous non-cash contributions are valuable to our institution. If you have a non-cash, in-kind contribution, please contact the Foundation or the appropriate department chair to determine if Northwest Florida State College can accept your gift.

The in-kind donation form must be completed by the donor and signed by the department chair/Foundation staff representative at the time your gift is received.

Thoughtful estate and gift planning can benefit you, your family and Northwest Florida State College. Planned gifts name the Northwest Florida State College Foundation as a beneficiary in a bequest, life insurance policy, or charitable remainder trust, to name a few. With your legal, financial and tax advisors, we can help you create a plan that suits your personal circumstances. Planned gifts may be recognized through the Foundation’s Legacy Circle.
