You May Be Asking: Why Give?
|
 |
Because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their life through education. We exist to help improve lives by providing increased and enhanced educational opportunities through the resources your giving provides.
Ways You Can Help
Create A Scholarship Yourself! Have you ever thought it would be fun to do something positive in your community... something that would survive the challenge of time? Creating an endowment scholarship does just that!
Ways You Can Give
Cash and Securities - the most common form of financial support.
Real Estate - becoming increasingly popular as real estate values increase.
Business Interests - little known, but very effective.
Through Your Estate - more than 50% of Americans are now projected to make a "bequest" in their will or living trust to their favorite charitable cause.
Gifts That Give Back
Gift Annuities - Tired of CDs, bonds, or other investments that aren't paying you very well? Consider a gift annuity! A simple arrangement where the Centralia College Foundation pays you between 7-11% (age specific) for the balance of your lifetime. And you get a handsome income tax deduction too!
Charitable Remainder Trusts - Often referred to as CRTs, this powerful planning tool is often used when someone has real estate or stock that has appreciated significantly in value over the years. CRTs help people avoid capital gain tax completely, generate sizeable tax deductions and secure high levels of income for those who create them.
Annual Campaign
One way you can give is by participating in the annual fund campaign. The annual fund for the Centralia College Foundation provides the opportunity for you to directly influence the quality of education provided to Centralia College students. Campaign funds support student scholarships, instructional programs, and academic excellence.
