Through your generosity, our students can access the resources and support they need to prepare them for real-world success.
Your gift is an investment in the future that allows you to claim charitable tax deductions in the year the gift is made. Your contribution helps to fuel CCBC's advancement and to educate a new generation.
The most common form of giving, cash gifts, are as easy to make as writing a check to the CCBC Foundation, or giving online. Every dollar you give outright to CCBC is tax-deductible. Cash gifts are vital, since they are immediately available to assist students.
I am a part-time student, pushing through the obstacles toward my goal to complete my associate degree and transfer to a four-year institution. Because of the support I received, I can get the books I need and pay off any overdue balances on my account. This scholarship reminds me that someone believes in me and my success.
With a recurring gift to CCBC, you set your gift up once and plan for the frequency and amount. You may stop or adjust your gift at any time and will receive an annual statement of documentation as well as special recognition in the CCBC annual report. Sustained gifts help us plan ahead and allocate funds based on students' needs
Annual Giving ensures the continued success of CCBC. The money raised through annual giving helps maintain the day-to-day excellence of the college, and will go where the need is greatest. Your contribution helps to narrow the gap between actual operating costs and what students pay in tuition.
When you support CCBC annually, you allow the college to award more scholarships to deserving students, purchase additional library books, upgrade our technology and make improvements to campus facilities. With annual giving, you still choose how to support any number of programs and initiatives.
A recurring monthly gift is the easiest and most affordable way to make a difference that adds up for CCBC students. As a CCBC Sustainer, you join others in providing ongoing support for CCBC programs, scholarships, emergency assistance funds and initiatives that help our students succeed.
Becoming a CCBC Sustainer makes giving easy and convenient. Once your monthly gift is set up, it will automatically repeat the 5th or the 20th of each month, providing a convenient way to spread your contribution over time, in a manner that fits your schedule and budget.

By assigning CCBC as a designee in your will or irrevocable trust, your assets remain in your control during your lifetime. You can modify your gift at any time, and are able to direct your gift to a particular purpose. Contact us to discuss how we can identify where and how your estate assets can be applied.
Gifts of appreciated property, such as a farm, personal residence or undeveloped land, are tax-deductible at full market value, and they relieve the donor from capital gains tax on the appreciation.

You may also contribute property to the college, receive an immediate income tax deduction, and still continue to use the property for as long as you wish through a "life estate."
