Ways of Giving

The Tarrant County College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, supporting the students and programs of Tarrant County College. Gifts are tax deductible as a charitable contribution to the maximum amount allowed by law. The TCC Foundation gladly accepts the following gifts:

• Cash Gifts & Pledges
  • Cash, in the form of personal or corporate checks, is the most popular type of charitable gift the Foundation receives. Please make check payable to "Tarrant County College Foundation" and indicate the purpose of your gift on the check or in a cover letter.
  • Online donations are a secure, fast, and convenient way for you to donate with a credit card.
  • Pledges provide a longer-term commitment over a designated period of time based upon an agreed upon schedule. Pledges cannot be claimed as a tax deduction until the gift is actually made. Pledges can be made by filling out the Pledge Form. (PDF will open in new window)
• TCC Employee Payroll Deduction
  • TCC offers payroll deduction for all TCC employees.
• Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds
  • Gifts of appreciated mutual funds, stocks, and certain bonds may enable donors to contribute a larger gift at less cost. Transferring gifts of securities, stocks, and bonds to the Foundation is easy and can provide significant tax benefits through tax deduction as well as elimination of capital gains taxes! Please contact the Foundation to discuss the best method of transferring assets.
• Tribute Gifts – Remember Others Through Your Gift
  • A gift, in memory or in honor of a relative, friend, teacher, or student, is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person’s life and accomplishments.
  • When you make a tribute gift to the TCC Foundation, we notify the honoree or next of kin, and the gift is used as you specify. Include with your gift a note specifying the honoree’s name, as well as the address of the honoree or next of kin.
• Planned Gifts
  • Planned Gifts are not only a charitable donation but also can allow the donor to minimize, if not totally avoid, capital gains taxes in addition to enjoying many other benefits. The following are planned gifts that the Foundation currently accepts:
    • Bequests
    • Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT)
    • Charitable Lead Trusts (CLT)
    • Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA)
    • Life Insurance
    • Retirement Savings
  • Consult your tax professional to learn which choice may be right for you. For additional assistance, please contact our Executive Director.
