A non-cash gift, also called an in-kind gift, is a non-monetary
contribution of personal property or professional services that
benefit Lane in a variety of ways. These important gifts comprised
6 percent or $118,190 of the total revenue to the Foundation
in
the last fiscal year.
In-kind gifts can typically be split into two different categories:
those used for educational purposes by a specific program and those
used for fundraising purposes.
In-Kind Gifts Used For Educational Purposes
One of the biggest costs for the college is the need for upgraded
equipment in our dozens of professional/technical programs. Your
gift of equipment has immediate impact on our instructional capability.
From culinary arts to nursing, from an engine for the diesel program
to a potter's wheel for an art class, college programs welcome donor
support.
Talk with the department to which your donation would be directed
to discover how you or your company can become a benefactor to one
of our 45 career programs.
Here are examples of equipment that has been donated in the past:
- Up-to-date electronics and photographic equipment
- Vehicles, motors
- Diesel engines, airplanes, scrap metal, tools and machinery
- Culinary tools and equipment
- Medical, dental, and lab equipment
- Sports and exercise equipment
- Library course books and subscriptions
Donors should contact the benefiting program or the Lane Foundation
at (541) 463-5226 or foundation@lanecc.edu
to learn if the proposed non-cash contribution would be appropriate
for the College.
In-Kind Gifts Used For Fundraising Purposes
The Lane Community College Foundation also welcomes items and services
that can be auctioned off during fundraising events such as the
upcoming 2005 Harvest Dinner. Examples include:
- Gift baskets, gift certificates for products and services
- Tickets (music, theatre, sports events, travel, etc.)
- Vacation home and rental property at various times throughout
the year
- Use of facilities, food, beverages, or decoration for fundraising
events
- Event sponsorships and cause-related marketing
- Professional services and expertise
Contact the Lane Foundation at (541) 463-5226 or foundation@lanecc.edu
to learn if the proposed non-cash contribution would be appropriate
for the College.
Every gift makes a difference and brings our students closer to
achieving their dreams.
Thank you for making a difference!
