  • SSCF is proud to partner with many generous individuals and corporations who have established endowments with the Foundation. The minimum donation needed to create an Endowment is $50,000, though contributions can begin with $25,000 with the remainder contributed over a period of five years. The Foundation invests this money with the advice of our professional investment advisor; and once the income from the Endowment reaches at least $2,000, monies are then awarded according to donor intent. Please contact us if you would like to discuss establishing an endowment.

  • With a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), individuals may make direct charitable distributions from their traditional, rollover, or Roth IRAs without including such distributions in their gross income, if they meet the following requirements:

    • A donor must be at least 70 1/2 years of age at the time of the transfer

    • The funds must pass directly from the donor’s IRA custodian to SSCF

  • South Seattle College’s Legacy Club recognizes those donors who plan to contribute through a will, beneficiary designation, gift annuity, or trust. Please call us at 206.930.7927 to discuss planned giving options.

    If you decide to include a gift in your will or living trust, our legal name is South Seattle College Foundation, and our tax ID number is 91-1122981.

  • In-kind gifts - such as equipment, software, machinery, vehicles, tools, or services - are another way to support SSCF.

    Pre-approval of in-kind contributions is required. Please call us at 206.930.7927 if you would like to make an in-kind contribution.

  • SSCF welcomes gifts of stocks. A gift of appreciated stock held for 12 months plus a day is a generous and tax-advantaged way to support our school. Tax implications and charitable deductions should be discussed with a tax advisor. Please call us at 206.930.7927 for stock transfer instructions.

  • Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please contact your employer or complete the gift matching process online via your company’s donation portal.

    Please call us at 206.930.7927 if you have any questions about matching gifts.

  • Tribute gifts can be made via our online giving form or by mail. Please share acknowledgment instructions when making a gift by mail.

    In Memory Gifts

    Memorial gifts are a special way to acknowledge a friend or a loved one who has passed away.

    In Honor Gifts

    Honor gifts are a meaningful way to commemorate special milestones or events.

Please contact us anytime with questions about ways to support South Seattle College Foundation.

The support that the Foundation provides allows South Seattle College to respond to opportunities that are not otherwise feasible due to limitations of state funding.
