Endowed gifts are a wonderful way to demonstrate your support and enthusiasm for Horry-Georgetown Technical College. Endowment funds are funds established to provide ongoing support for scholarships or other designated funding recipients through the use of interest earned on endowments, rather than the expense of the endowed funds themselves.
You can establish an endowment with a gift of $15,000 or more. The Foundation Office can help you draw up a plan for your gift that is best suited to your financial profile. There are several options for planning an endowed gift, including testamentary or estate planning, gifts of appreciated stocks, and/or a bequest from a retirement account.
Endowed funds may be created for a variety of purposes, including faculty support, student scholarships, and program enhancement. Once you and the College have agreed on the purpose of the fund, you can be confident that HGTC will follow your expressed wishes throughout the life of the endowment. You will have the opportunity to name the endowed fund. Donors often use such occasions to honor and memorialize loved ones.
To establish an endowment, specific minimum amounts are required, depending upon the type of endowment being created. To learn about specific endowment opportunities and minimum financial requirements, please contact us at 843-477-2112.
