Ways To Give Now
Discover the many ways you can make a lasting impact—every gift brings our students one step closer to achieving their dreams.
Stock
When you gift stocks and other securities directly to a charity, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, are the savviest way for individuals age 70½ or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact.
Give For The Future
Leave a legacy of opportunity—your future gift will open doors and create pathways for generations to come.
Gift In Wills
Making a planned gift to NCC Foundation is a meaningful and generous way to leave a lasting legacy and support the school’s mission for generations to come. Including us in your estate planning ensures that future students will benefit from a community college in their neighborhood that meets their needs.
Retirement Assets
You can designate NCC Foundation as a beneficiary of part or all the remainder of your IRA or retirement plan. Distributions from retirement plans at the death of the survivor of the account-holder can be subject to both income and estate taxes. By naming NCC Foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement plan, 100% of the plan’s balance is available for MCC Foundation's use since the distribution avoids both income and estate taxes.
Life Insurance
If you have more insurance coverage than you need, you may consider transferring ownership of the policy to NCC Foundation. You will receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the policy’s cash surrender value or cost basis, whichever is less.
Life Income Assets
Life income plans enable you to make a meaningful gift to NCC Foundation while receiving significant income and tax benefits. There are several different types of life income gift arrangements available. These include charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, and pooled income funds.
Invest in Programs That Uplift and Support Students
Your gift to Northwestern's programs directly supports students on their path to success, providing essential resources, mentorship, and opportunities tailored to their unique needs. By investing in these programs, you’re helping to create an environment where every student has the support needed to thrive and achieve their goals. Make a different today— support a program and help empower our students.
