Scholarship Giving Opportunities Make College Possible for All

We believe every student deserves educational access to create a better future. Your gift has an immediate impact on increased wages and a lifelong generational impact to break the cycle of poverty.

Donate today and specify "Making College Possible Fund" in the description box, or view an informational brochure.

An endowment is a permanent fund in which the principal is invested and a portion of the earnings fund scholarships. 

Endowment levels begin at $10,000.

A named, memorial, or honorary scholarship is a special way to recognize a loved one or express your own generosity.  With an investment of $500 (average gift is $750), you can associate an individual, corporate or family name with a scholarship.

Complete the named scholarship form and email it to foundation@nwtc.edu or mail to this address:

Donate Stock, Mutual Funds or ETFs

• Avoid capital gains tax (up to 20%).
• If you give stock to charity instead of selling it, neither you nor the charity have to pay taxes on it.
• Maximize your philanthropic impact because the money you would have paid in taxes can instead go fully to the non-profit.

Donate from your IRA

• Helps donors meet all or part of your RMD (Required Minimum Distribution).
• Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) gifts avoid paying federal income taxes on the IRA distribution.

Donor Advised Funds

• This is like a charitable savings account.
