The Forsyth Tech Foundation
Why Your Gift Matters
Scholarships, emergency grants to students in crisis, purchasing up-to-date equipment for classrooms and labs, employee professional development and many other funding needs all can be made possible with your help. Gifts to the Forsyth Tech Foundation provide support for our students and the college in crucial ways that otherwise could not happen.
No matter the amount, your gift will make a difference!

Bequests
An outright bequest in your will to the Forsyth Tech Foundation can be a specified amount or a certain percentage after other specific bequests are fulfilled. Our bequest intention form helps us ensure your gift will be used in a way to best honor your wishes. It also informs us of your intended bequest so we may include you in our Legacy Society.
Gifts of Stocks or Securities
Gifts of stocks or securities support the College and may give added tax benefits to the donor. Speak with your financial advisor to learn more about the tax implications of your gift.
Electronic Transfer is the easiest way to transfer securities and stocks to Forsyth Tech. Please ask your broker to note your name on the transaction so we may recognize and record your gift appropriately.

For more information please contact Angela Cook, Director of the Foundation, at 336.734.7618 or acook@forsythtech.edu.
Gift of Life Insurance
Making the Forsyth Tech Foundation one of the beneficiaries or the owner of a life insurance policy is a way to make a gift to the college without putting a burden on your present financial obligations.
