At the heart of the Colorado Community College System is the elevation and education of Colorado’s communities. Including the Foundation for Colorado Community Colleges in your estate plan is a simple, yet powerful way to invest in Colorado’s future. When you make a planned gift, you will have a lasting impact on Colorado’s students and colleges and help ensure that post-secondary education remains attainable to all Coloradans.
There are many ways to make a legacy gift. Some have named the Foundation to receive a future gift in their will or living trust, while others have named the Foundation as a future beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA or charitable trust.
Most people need to preserve full control over their assets during life, protecting against future uncertainties and prioritizing loved ones first. Others may choose to maximize tax and financial benefits that could result from their philanthropy. There is tremendous flexibility to accomplish both personal and philanthropic goals in an estate plan.
Every estate gift, large or small, helps strengthen CCCS in permanent ways. An estate gift can establish an endowed scholarship, grow an existing scholarship endowment, provide permanent support for an educational program, or meet other urgent needs. The donor defines the impact they want to make.
As with any decision involving your estate plans, we urge you to seek the advice of professional counsel when considering a gift to the Foundation for Colorado Community Colleges.
Join us in strengthening our colleges and helping our students achieve their educational goals.
