Ways of Giving

A gift of cash is often the easiest way for many people to contribute to the Ocean County College Foundation.  You can make a cash gift using currency, a check, money order, bank draft or credit card.  Gifts of cash are deductible in a given tax year up to 50% of a donor’s gross adjusted income, and an excess over that may be carried forward over five years.

Simply let us know the amount of your pledge (a minimum of $500.00), the length of your pledge (a maximum of five years) and how you prefer to pay the pledge.

OCC is an institution that uses its resources carefully and prudently, yet also plans for growth and development so we are ready to meet the ever-evolving needs of the community.

You can help us achieve this goal by including the OCC Foundation in your overall financial and estate plan. A planned gift can have immediate benefits for you and can help the Foundation prepare tomorrow’s students for the world.

What are the Benefits to You?

• The satisfaction of supporting a top-rated public community college and its mission of providing a first-class, affordable education to students from all walks of life.
• Your gift to the Ocean County College Foundation can allow you to hold an interest in that gift for your lifetime or for a specified term of years. After that time, the funds become available to the College.
• You may get several tax advantages, including charitable deductions for income, gift, and estate taxes. In many cases, you may also avoid a capital gains tax. Please consult your tax advisor to determine what tax deductions may apply to you.
