Commemorative
Gifts
Remember a loved one who has completed life's journey by helping others
who are just beginning their's. You may choose to name an endowed scholarship
after yourself, in honor of a friend or family member, or after a business
or organization. Foundation staff can help you provide guidance in determining
the scholarship's specific criteria. Endowments can also be set up as
memorial funds. A minimum gift of $25,000 is required to establish
an endowed scholarship.
Honoraria
Deferring payments to the Foundation in lieu of honoraria gives you another
way to support our students without spending a single penny. If a sponsoring
organization wants to give you an honorarium for speaking or making an
appearance at an event, you may have it donated to any of our funds.
In-Kind
Gifts
Gifts such as land, real estate and other non-cash property can be donated
for a charitable deduction. Personal property -- such as works of art,
books and furnishings -- that can be used by the DCCCD for charitable
purposes can also offer tax benefits to the donor.

Please check with your employer's personnel office to see if your company offers this benefit. If so, complete the form your company provides and mail it with your gift or pledge form to the Dallas County Community College District Foundation, Inc., 701 Elm Street, Suite 700, Dallas, TX 75202.
Multi-Year
Pledges

Pledges at levels that qualify you for scholarship endowments are payable over three to five years or a lifetime, depending on your level of giving.

Planned
Giving
Create a blueprint of your assets and your family's financial future after

You can deduct the premiums as a charitable gift.

Retained
Life Estate
You can still live in your residence if you choose to donate your home
using the Retained Life Estate. Such a donation also gives significant
estate tax savings for your heirs.
