Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a tax-smart way to support SPSCC students. The SPSCC Foundation can accept publicly traded and privately held stock, as well as other approved securities. Depending on your circumstances, a gift of securities may offer tax advantages while helping fund scholarships, emergency assistance, and other student resources.
Contact the Foundation for transfer instructions before initiating your gift. We recommend consulting your tax or financial advisor about the potential implications of your donation.

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to the SPSCC Foundation. A QCD may offer tax advantages and can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD), if applicable.

Please note that processing fees apply to certain types of donations. These fees help cover the costs associated with handling your gift and ensure that the maximum amount of your donation supports SPSCC students and programs. If you have any questions about fees, feel free to contact us.
Gifts to the SPSCCF incur a Processing Fee to support general operating funds. The Processing Fee is assigned at a rate of 5% for all non-endowed restricted and unrestricted donations at the time the gift is received.
Additionally, endowments incur an Endowment Fee at a rate of up to 5% annually on the earnings of the endowment based on a 3-year rolling average. The SPSCCF Finance Committee may recommend to the Board of Directors adjustments to the Endowment Fee based on the value of the fund above corpus at the time the fee is calculated.
