GIFT CONSIDERATIONS 

Giving thoughtful consideration to committing to the Campaign is a highly personal decision, one that frequently begins with a conversation with spouses, loved ones or other family members. Those conver­sations typically focus on what you hope your gift will achieve – making a difference and creating a legacy. 
Your gift has the potential to alter the life of a student by fulfilling the dream of an education, to help shape the future of Orange County Community College and quite possibly, to influence an entire community. 
Directing your gift to support one of the following funds will fit within the Campaign priorities. 
SCHOLARSHIPS Are at the heart of providing access to quality education. You can establish a new fund (certain minimum gift levels may apply) or support an existing fund. The College has identified several priority scholarship areas: 
President’s Scholarship for Outstanding Academic Achievement – Awarded to Orange County high school graduates in the top 10% of their class 
Performing & Fine Arts – Allows the College to attract talented Orange County residents to continue pursuit of a career in theater, music and art. Gives them the building blocks to transfer to leading universities in the fine and performing arts 
Intercollegiate Athletics – Brings the County’s stars to playing fields and courts of SUNY Orange, providing a full college experience for all to enjoy in baseball, basketball or softball 

General Scholarship – Provides the Educational Foundation the flexibility to allocate scholarships where the need is greatest 
Foundation Discretionary Fund – Provides resources for the Foundation to direct gifts wherever student or College need is greatest. 
Consider two options, an Endowed Scholarship, where investment income generates awards in perpetuity, or an Annual Scholarship, which is awarded until your gift is fully expended. 
Note: For a new named endowed scholarship the minimum gift required is $25,000, which may be pledged over a period of up to five years. 
THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE FUND 
provides the Middletown Campus with critical resources to enrich classrooms and laboratories. 
THE NEWBURGH CAMPUS CAPITAL FUND augments public funding and creates enhanced spaces to make a great project greater.
