Who we Are
The NSCC Foundation was established in 1978 to provide support for the students, people and programs of NSCC. For nearly 40 years, the foundation has remained true to its mission to enhance, expand and sustain Northwest State so that NSCC can continue to fulfill its mission of creating opportunities for transformational learning. The NSCC Foundation works diligently to raise much-needed funds for educational opportunities that directly and indirectly impact students.
The Northwest State Community College Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt 501 (c)(3). Foundation financials and/or 990 tax forms are available upon request by contacting Jennifer Thome, CFO at 419-267-1223 or by emailing jthome@NorthwestState.edu.
How you can Help
You can help us equip students with the best resources available, whether it is scholarships, new equipment for training, or new programming. Your financial gift can help us accomplish our goal.
What we Do
The foundation’s endowment earnings and donor contributions have had a great impact on the College. Our investment funds are currently worth $8 million, with the foundation providing over $9 million in gifts to the College over the last 15 years. Our Changing Lives Scholarship Campaign has provided over $6 million in student scholarships.
Annual Events
Golf Outing
Every year we hold a golf outing full of golf, games and prizes, all in an effort to raise NSCC scholarship dollars.
Green Carpet Event
Each spring, the NSCC Foundation invites the community to enjoy an evening of entertainment while supporting NSCC students.
Donor Bill of Rights
Each year, the NSCC Foundation will recognize individuals and businesses/corporations, which have supported the programs and activities of NSCC Community College through the foundation.
Your gift of cash, real estate, stock, securities, properties or insurance programs will be highlighted in the foundation recognition program.
Additionally, if you have a place of employment which provides a matching gift program, the company is recognized as well.
Donor Bill of Rights Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life.
To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:
To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
The text of this statement in its entirety was developed by the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel, Association for Healthcare Philanthropy, Council for Advancement and Support of Education, and the Association of Fundraising Professionals and adopted in November 1993.
