Frequently Asked Questions

Are my contributions to the Genesee 社区 College 基金会 tax-deductible?

是的. 对基金会的捐款可以在联邦和州法律允许的最大范围内扣除.

Why does Genesee 社区 College need my help?

The mission of the 基金会 is to raise the level of instruction in the classroom by attracting excellent students; to provide access to higher education by worthy and deserving students who demonstrate financial need; to encourage students from our region to remain in the local workforce; and to promote community involvement in the life of the College.

The College provides the basics (and more) through its operating budget. 但基金会的长远目标只有通过热情的志愿者和公民和商业领袖的财政支持才能实现, faculty and staff, 校友, and friends of the College.

What is the 基金会’s relationship to the College?

该基金会是杰纳西社区学院的官方筹款和接受礼物的机构. 社区, 业务, and civic volunteers from Genesee, 利文斯顿, 奥尔良, and Wyoming counties comprise the 基金会’s Board of Directors. The Board governs the 基金会 and sets its policies. The 基金会, established in 1985, is a not-for-profit corporation.

Does the 基金会 accept memorial gifts?

是的. 我们经常收到与学院有关的人的家人和朋友的纪念礼物. 赠礼收据会寄给捐赠人,死者家属也会收到收到礼物的回执.

My employer matches charitable gifts. How can I make a gift to the GCC 基金会 and have it matched?

If your employer (or your spouse’s employer) offers a matching gift program, your gift to the 基金会 can be doubled or even tripled. Obtain a matching gift form from your human resources office, complete your section, and mail it to the 基金会 with your gift. We’ll complete the remainder of the form and obtain the matching gift.

What is the difference between a “designated” and a “non-designated” gift?

非指定(或无限制)捐赠满足学院董事会确定的奖学金和其他项目需求. 然而, many donors wish to direct their gifts toward a particular need, 例如支持来自特定社区或特定研究领域的学生. 这些指定的(或限制的)捐赠仅用于捐赠人指定的目的. The 基金会 holds more than 150 Donor-Designated Funds.

How can I create a named or designated fund?

It’s quite easy. 一位基金会工作人员将会问你一些lol菠菜竞猜基金的基本问题-它的名称, 目的, criteria for making grants from the fund, 以及如何以及何时建立——然后准备一份一到两页的协议,供你审阅和签署.

What is the ratio of 基金会 fund raising expenses to total contributions?

Over the last five years, our supporters generously contributed $6,591,016. Our direct fund raising expenses for that period totaled $892,214, or 13.5% of total contributions.

What is Genesee 社区 College 基金会 Housing Services?

Genesee 社区 College 基金会 Housing Services, Inc. 是一个附属的非营利公司,代表基金会和学院持有和管理房地产. 该公司拥有2001年8月获得的学生宿舍College Village的所有权.

The legal title is The Genesee 社区 College 基金会, Inc. Your attorney can provide the specific language necessary to Establish a Bequest under your will. We can also help you or your attorney with the wording; this is especially important if you plan to direct your bequest to a specific designated (restricted) fund, or to establish a new fund under your bequest. In any event, 我们鼓励您与我们分享您的最后遗嘱条款,以确保您的意愿得到适当的遵循和认可.

Are there different kinds of bequests?

是的. Under a fixed-amount bequest, you leave a specified sum of money in your estate (for example, $20,000) to the 基金会. Under a percentage bequest, you leave a specified ratio of your estate (for example, 10% of your estate) to the 基金会. Under a remainder bequest, 您将未分配给其他受益人的遗产部分留给基金会. You can also blend these forms together. 例如, you could establish a series of fixed amount bequests in your will, followed by a series of remainder percentage bequests.

You can make bequests to the general (unrestricted) fund, 或者是你在生前或通过遗赠建立的特别基金. You and your attorney can review our sample language for a bequest to get started.

What is an endowment fund?

An endowment fund consists of assets that are held in perpetuity – literally, forever – and only the income, or a portion of the income, from the fund is spent. 捐赠基金通常是由捐赠者创建的,他们希望确保对自己喜欢的事业或项目的长期支持. You can establish an Endowment Fund during your lifetime, or through a bequest.

Does the GCC 基金会 have a “general 目的” endowment fund?

是的. The Michael J. 赖安未来基金是一个捐赠基金,为基金会计划提供一般支持. Investment earnings from this fund benefit all 基金会 activities.

What are the advantages of making a gift of appreciated stock?

By making a gift of stock that has appreciated (or increased) in value, 你可以避免缴纳资本利得税(通常最高税率为持有超过一年的证券增值的15%). You also receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock.

例如, let’s say you originally bought stock in ABC Corp. 以4000美元的价格.  Now it’s worth $20,000. If you sold the stock yourself, you’d probably pay $2,400 in capital gains taxes (15% of the $16,000 appreciation). 如果你捐赠这些股票,你不用缴纳资本利得税——而且你还能获得2万美元的税收减免. To calculate what your deduction is worth in actual tax savings, multiply the market value of the stock you plan to donate by your marginal tax rate. 例如, if your marginal tax rate is 30% and you’re making a gift stock worth $10,000, you can deduct $10,000, and your cash “savings” will be $3,000.

Are there advantages to donating stock that has depreciated, or declined, in value?

Usually the best thing to do here is sell the stock yourself and donate the proceeds. The result is that you’ll generate a capital loss, 你可以用它来抵扣你从出售增值股票中获得的一些资本收益.

我听说把价值很高的股票作为礼物并获得终身收入是可能的. Is this true?

In many cases, yes. 你可能会考虑慈善礼物年金或慈善剩余信托. What happens here is that your gift of stock funds the annuity or trust, which in turn provides you with income for life or for some other fixed period. (这些工具只能为其他人提供收入,比如你去世的配偶). You also receive a tax deduction for part of the gift, based on IRS actuarial tables; generally, the older you are when you set up the annuity or trust, the larger your deduction will be.

In some instances – for example, 当股票的升值幅度非常大,或者当你在相对年轻的时候设立年金或信托时,购买财富替代保险可能是值得的, possibly from a portion of the annuity or trust income you receive. 这种保险可以在你死后替换你捐赠的部分或全部资产, 让你有机会做出一份精彩的慈善礼物,给你的继承人留下大量资产.

You can easily create a charitable gift annuity with one simple document. A charitable reminder trust, on the other hand, is much more complex, and usually requires guidance from your attorney and financial adviser.

How does the 基金会 make grants?

  • Each year, the College requests 基金会 support for various Scholarship Programs and other initiatives. The 基金会 carefully reviews the request in light of available resources. Three 基金会 committees are involved here: the Stewardship Committee considers the request in light of the College’s and 基金会’s priorities; the Finance Committee examines the availability of funds and the fiscal implications of the grant; and the Campaign and Fund Development Committee determines whether it’s possible to raise the funds necessary to meet upcoming grant obligations. The Board of Directors makes final grant allocations each spring.
