Giving
Why should you invest in the CareerTech Foundation?
In general, people invest in companies because they believe in a product or service. Investors want to know that their investment will pay dividends. The merit of education through the CareerTech system has been proven for over 100 years.
As a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, the CareerTech Foundation provides you
with numerous opportunities to positively impact current and future
students in career and technology education. Thank you for your consideration of
this worthwhile opportunity.
When you give, you are doing more than helping the Foundation to grow, you are
helping students achieve their dreams.
Ways to give
Planned Giving
Donors who choose to establish planned gifts to benefit the CareerTech
Foundation ensure their legacy will continue for many generations. Estate funds
may be added to an existing endowment or used to create new opportunities.
Whatever avenue you choose, financial planning for the future allows you to
direct estate funds to the area of your choice.
With so many different planned giving options available, establishing a
gift can often be a confusing process. The CareerTech Foundation is happy to
assist donors in making their planned giving. Please contact
us for your
specific needs and wishes.

Annual Giving
Annual gifts are vital to Foundations success. While endowments and
planned gifts guarantee future funding sources for the system, annual giving
ensures direct financial support for CareerTech's greatest needs providing a
immediate impact to our students and organizations.
Donors who choose to support CareerTech annually select from a number of giving
options including annual scholarships and through supporting current educational programs.
Endowments
Endowments provide a foundation on which to grow. The money is given to the Foundation with a stipulation that the funds are invested to earn annual interest rather than spent immediately. A portion of the annual earnings is used to award student scholarships, provide professional development or support CareerTech programs. The rest of the earnings are reallocated back into the fund’s principal to ensure the endowment continues to grow and yield more interest for future support.
