Establish a Program for Excellence Fund
Program Funds for Excellence help ±¬ÁÏÍødepartments and programs raise donations for targeted needs such as equipment, materials, and professional development.
How to set up a Program Fund
- A ±¬ÁÏÍøFoundation Program Fund is established with a minimum $2,500 financial commitment by the donors and with the intention to give or secure on-going charitable contributions.  These gifts are restricted and thus charged a minimal gift fee when made.
- The Foundation and the donors create an agreement describing the fund’s purpose, how donations can be used, and who will be authorized to request expenditures from the fund.
- The agreement is signed by the donor/creator of the fund, the relevant ±¬ÁÏÍøDean, Vice President or Campus President, and the Foundation Managing Director. Fund agreements can be amended by mutual consent of all parties.
±¬ÁÏÍøFoundation funds are administered by the Foundation in the manner that best serves the intent of the agreement. The Foundation has the power to modify restrictions or conditions on the distribution of funds if they become unnecessary or inconsistent with the educational needs of the college. Gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible to the amount allowed by law.

Testimonial
"We set up our Program Fund for Excellence several years ago so we could give outside businesses and individuals the opportunity to give to our program. We've purchased equipment, which otherwise we couldn't afford." Russ Jones,Â
