In-Kind Gifts

When an individual, business, or organization indicates an interest in donating a gift-in-kind to the College, the Foundation should be notified. If necessary, the Foundation will consult with College faculty and staff to determine if there is a need for the proposed gift.

Neither the College nor the Foundation shall appraise a gift. Values placed on contributions and appraisals offered in support of such values for tax purposes shall be the responsibility of the donor. In order to be deductible, the in-kind donation must be made to Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation with full control and discretion over the disposition or use of the donation.

As Blue Ridge Community College strives to meet the higher education needs of our community, the demands to make sure our students are given the best education possible with real life teaching tools is growing, and so is our need for donations and support to acquire such items.

We are very grateful to our generous donors who, over the years, have donated automobiles, books, audio-visual equipment, and other useful educational tools to Blue Ridge Community College.

Matching Gifts

Double or triple the value of your gift! Did you know that many corporations match financial contributions when their employees, retirees, and board members give to their favorite nonprofit organizations? By participating in these matching gift programs, donors to Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation can double, and even triple, their contributions.

Most companies with a matching gift program will have guidelines and forms or logins to be followed. Typically, there is a human relations or charitable giving department that works with employees in preparing the proper documentation. Donors often can include retired employees, spouses, or widowed employees as well as currently employed personnel.

To confirm that your company will match your gift, please contact your company’s Human Resources department or charitable giving department. Feel free to contact the Foundation office if we can be of assistance.
