Thank you for supporting students through our annual A Time of Giving campaign! Your investment helps us build a prosperous community, one student at a time.
This annual fundraising campaign enables OTECH employees, board members, and community partners to directly support student success.
As OTECH grows, so does the need for scholarships and other student support. Every penny raised supports OTECH students. Even $1 or $2 per pay period, combined with other donations, can make a huge difference in someone’s life.
31% of OTECH students are economically disadvantaged, more than at any other public college or university in the state. Your support helps students overcome financial barriers while juggling the many additional demands of life.
If you join the Investors’ Circle by making a sustaining pledge, your gift can continue to help students beyond this year.
As the college grows, so does the demand for scholarships and other student support initiatives. Donors may elect to create an endowed scholarship fund to ensure funds are always available for future students. Named donor-directed endowed scholarship funds are established with gifts of $25,000 or more. As interest accrues in the fund, annual scholarships are awarded from that growth.
Donors who create an endowed fund may select the criteria for scholarship awards, including college program, student background, financial need, and other factors.
The OTECH Foundation will help you outline scholarship criteria so the fund achieves your goals while helping as many students as possible complete their education and start a sustainable career.
You may also choose to leave a lasting gift for OTECH students in your will or estate plan, or through annual planned giving. Bequests and deferred gifts are an easy way to leave a legacy for generations of OTECH students.
Donors may choose to become legacy givers through their will, a charitable gift annuity, beneficiary designation in a retirement plan or insurance policy, charitable remainder trust, gifts of life insurance, and more.
The OTECH Foundation will work with donors to explore options for legacy and planned giving, including how the donated funds will be used in the future. Legacy gifts of $25,000 or more may be used to create named, donor-directed endowment funds.
