Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees; often a dollar for dollar match is available. Check your company’s matching guidelines to increase the impact of your personal contribution.
Thoughtful estate and gift planning can benefit you, your family and Pensacola State College. Planned gifts name the Pensacola State College Foundation as a beneficiary in a bequest, life insurance policy, or charitable remainder trust, to name a few. With your legal, financial, and tax advisers, we can help you create a plan that suits your personal circumstances. Planned gifts may be recognized through the Foundation’s Clock Tower Heritage Society.
This is the simplest way to give. Checks should be made payable to the Pensacola State College Foundation and will be placed in a fund as directed by the donor. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover are also accepted. Gifts may be made online or mailed to our office at 1000 College Ave, Bldg 17, Pensacola, FL 32504.
The Pensacola State College Foundation can accept publicly traded securities, closely held securities, tangible personal property, and real estate gifts. Under most circumstances, these gifts will be sold upon receipt so that donors’ philanthropic visions can be realized quickly. These gifts must be reviewed by the Finance and Executive Committees prior to acceptance.
Many generous non-cash contributions are valuable to our institution. If you have a non-cash, in-kind contribution, please contact the Foundation or the appropriate department chair to determine if Pensacola State College can utilize your gift.
The in-kind donation form must be completed by the donor and signed for by the department chair or Foundation staff representative at the time your gift is received and accepted. The staff verification, found under the “FOR OFFICE USE ONLY” section acknowledges that your contribution has been received by the appropriate department. The completed form (with signatures) should be routed to the Foundation office via email/mail within 24 hours by college staff so the gift can be properly recorded and the asset documented. This will allow the Foundation to provide the donor a thank you note along with the completed in-kind donation form verifying the gift for tax purposes. In-kind gifts unaccompanied by the in-kind donation form will not be acknowledged as a charitable gift.
