TYPES OF GIFTS
Endowments
Once established, an endowed fund is a dependable and perpetual source of support, since the principal is invested and only a portion of the earnings is spent annually. A minimum gift of $25,000 is needed to establish an endowment, while any amount is allowed for non-endowed funds. You have up to 6 years to complete an endowment agreement. Call 903-670-2664 or send an e-mail to foundation@tvcc.edu for information on endowments.
Planned Gifts
In certain instances, it may be preferable from an estate, financial, and tax planning perspective to consider long-term gift planning as the best way to make a gift. This can be accomplished through various gift instruments, such as charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, and bequests. Visit our online gift planning resource to help you assist your clients in reaching their charitable goals.

Securities
Securities may be made as outright gifts or as a payment on a pledge. Stock certificates may be reassigned directly to TVCC Foundation or may be transferred through the donor's broker. The mean market value on the date of the transfer will determine the value of the gift for tax purposes. It is best to consult with a member of our foundation team before a transaction is made. For general questions on securities, call 903-670-2620 or send an e-mail to foundation@tvcc.edu.
Gifts of appreciated securities may be tax deductible, up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. The deduction is based on the full fair market value, and capital gains tax is not due when the stock is transferred to the TVCC Foundation.
