EL HISPANIC INSTITUTE ES UNA ORGANIZACIÓN SIN FINES DE LUCRO QUE SIRVEA LA COMUNIDAD HISPANA DESDE 1984.

For 48 years, Bergen Community College has played a significant role in providing

necessary educational opportunities for the residents of this community. Each year,

approximately 30,000 students enroll in credit-bearing or continuing education

courses. Since 1970, the College has granted degrees and certificates to over

40,000 graduates. Yes, our county and state taxes have made much of this possible

– but not all of it. In recent years, less than 24 percent of the College’s annual

operational budgets were state and county funded. The balance is raised through

tuition and student fees, student aid, grants and private fundraising initiatives

coordinated by the Bergen Community College Foundation.

Our ability to sustain and enhance the scope of services provided to the residents

of this community is dependent upon contributions from private sources. Through

private fundraising efforts, the Foundation - which exists solely to enhance student

support including tuition, scholarship and book allocation, faculty development

and student programs – seeks to bridge the gap between limited government

funding and those resources critical to the College. Without private funding, the

scope of services provided would be sharply reduced.

Your Membership in the College Family

You become a member of the Bergen family with a gift to the BCC Foundation, a

501 ( c ) 3 nonprofit organization. The Foundation accepts gifts in all amounts –

no gift is too small. Gifts may be designated for a specific use or they may be

directed to the Foundation’s unrestricted fund to be used wherever it is most

needed within the College.

A contribution to the Securing Our Future Endowed Scholarship Fund will ensure

available scholarship dollars for deserving students for generations to come. With a

gift of $10,000 or more, you can establish a named endowment in an area of

importance to you, your family or your corporation.

Whatever the purpose, a contribution to the Foundation is translated into a gift of

education that will benefit the residents of this community forever more.

Ways of Giving

Although the easiest gift to give is cash, it is also possible to make a multi-year

pledge, donate appreciated securities, insurance, or real estate. You may also opt to

remember the Bergen Community College Foundation and a selected fund in your

will, annuity or other forms of planned giving. The Foundation staff is available to

assist you and your financial adviser in planning the details of such a gift. Please

contact the Foundation at (201) 447-7117 or by e-mail at:

[email protected] to discuss available options.

All gifts made payable to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed

by federal and state laws.
