Named Gift Opportunities
Named Gift Opportunities
Over the years, many friends of OTC have chosen to provide assistance to the College and students through a contribution for a named fund. A named gift opportunity sends a strong message to our students and people living in OTC's service area that an individual, business, or organization has loaned their name to the College's effort to provide quality, accessible education and training to all who can benefit from our programs and services. At the present time, 13 endowed scholarship funds honor donors.
Significant gifts to OTC Foundation's Imagine. Invest. Inspire. Major Gifts Campaign will entitle the donor to appropriate recognition through a variety of named giving opportunities. Your name, company's name, or the name of someone you wish to honor or memorialize can be appropriately recognized.
We invite you to consider the wide variety of opportunities and help the College address current needs and prepare for the challenges of the next century. You are also encouraged to work with the Foundation and College to create other naming opportunities that might be more closely aligned with your special areas of interest.
