Frequently Asked Questions

How is giving to the TECH Foundation different than giving to TECH?

The TECH Foundation provides long-term support for TECH. The endowment is built through charitable gifts, such as gifts of cash and stock, as well as funds from bequests, trusts and annuities. Some of these planned giving instruments even offer lifetime income payments back to the donor. But all of these gifts are invested, and the investment earnings provide annual support for TECH for many years into the future.

Should I give to the TECH Foundation or TECH?

As you consider a gift to TECH or the TECH Foundation, you may ask yourself which is the right option for you? If you would like your money to be used right away to take care of immediate needs, then donate directly to TECH. If you would like your money to be invested and used in the future to protect the legacy of TECH, then donate to the TECH Foundation. Either way, your gift makes an impact and a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Is my donation tax-deductible?
