KIRTLAND FOUNDATION

Giving Opportunities

In October 2001, the Kirtland Foundation unveiled its Tree of Life, a beautiful, large sculptured wall mounting with hundreds of golden leaves, many of which carry the names of Foundation donors from the past to present day. The Tree of Life is on display in the Performing Arts Center where thousands of people will see it in the years to come. Beneath the Tree of Life are several boulders, also reserved for those who give. Perhaps your name will soon be on a leaf or boulder.

GIVING OPTIONS

Unrestricted Gifts

Unrestricted gifts give the Foundation the most flexibility because they can be used to support programs or priorities at the college that have the greatest need. Unrestricted gifts are a priority because they have a very positive impact on the college's financial situation.

Restricted Gifts

 You may have a program or an area of interest that is special to you. You may make a gift that will be used exclusively for the purpose(s) you designate. The Foundation maintains an Enhancements List ("wish list") of projects and equipment needs that would make a positive impact on a particular program. Perhaps there is something on the Enhancement List that would interest you.  Contributions can be designated toward a specific enhancement. If not all funds are raised to purchase a specific enhancement this year, they will be carried over until enough contributions are received to purchase that enhancement. A general contribution to the campaign can also be made.

Scholarships

Demand is always increasing for scholarship assistance.

Cultural Enrichment

As an institution of higher learning, Kirtland tries very hard to provide worthwhile cultural opportunities for students, staff, and for citizens who live in the region. Enrichment programs in music, theatre, youth theatre, and the arts are encouraged by gifts to the Foundation earmarked for these very meaningful activities.
