Annual scholarships are a critical part of providing students with access and opportunity. For a minimum contribution of $1,000, you can provide funding towards a scholarship that you can designate and name.
An annual named scholarship fund may be established in the name of a person or organization with a minimum donation of $1,000. The funds may be one-time or renewed annually.
Criteria for awarding the scholarship will be determined by mutual agreement of the donor and the Executive Director. In order for the funds to provide maximum benefit, donors will be encouraged to establish scholarship criteria in broad terms.

An endowed scholarship is a great way to leave a lasting legacy that will help generations of students. You can establish an endowed scholarship in memory or honor of someone or your family’s name. An endowment can be started for $25,000 and will provide funds for scholarships in perpetuity. You can fund your endowment all at once, or grow your endowment over a five-year period.
Many generous local businesses and community members have established Endowed Scholarships already.

Do you accept gifts of stock?
Yes! Gifts of stock are a great way to make a donation to the TBCC Foundation. We have an account with Edward R. Jones in Tillamook to process stock transactions. If you are interested in transferring stock, please contact us for further information at 503-842-8222 ext. 1026 or brittalawrence@tillamookbaycc.edu. The Foundation will convert gifts of stocks, bonds, or other marketable securities to cash in a timely manner unless the Board determines that they should be retained as part of the Foundation’s portfolio. The proceeds will be deposited in the Foundation’s unrestricted account or the account designated by the donor.
Donated securities will be recorded at their fair market value on the date of the gift. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale of securities or other assets, as well as the commissions, brokerage fees, and other costs of the sale, shall be the responsibility of the Foundation fund benefiting from the contributed assets.
Do you charge an administrative fee?
A fee of 5% is charged on all gifts at the time of the donation with the exception of annual named scholarships. All other gifts are charged the administrative fee including restricted and unrestricted gifts, endowed scholarship funds, or an endowed program fund. The administrative fee on gifts provides the Foundation with resources to ensure our accountability to donors. This accountability includes a commitment to provide timely gift receipts, accurate records and accounting of funds, an annual independent review or audit of our financial statements and processes, and efficient disbursement of gift funds to students and programs at the College. In order to assure budgetary and financial stability, the Foundation Finance committee reviews the gift fee on a regular basis to determine if adjustments are needed.
