How is your gift to the Annual Campaign used?

What is the difference between a restricted gift and an unrestricted gift?
An unrestricted gift is a gift that has no restriction on its use. The Tulsa Community College Foundation has the ability to apply unrestricted funds to an area of greatest need. Unrestricted funds allow the TCC Foundation to apply funds where students need them most, including taking advantage of unexpected opportunities and meeting unforeseen challenges. Restricted gifts are designated gifts to specific scholarships, academic programs or other special events and projects.
What does the TCC Foundation do?
The TCC Foundation is a non-profit, IRS approved 501(c)(3) that provides financial support for educational needs of Tulsa Community College. State funding covers only a portion of expenses for vital programs and projects at TCC. The TCC Foundation coordinates fund development activities that support TCC in a variety of projects, including scholarships, faculty development, basic need assistance, and student experiences. The TCC Foundation staff works closely with private donors to ensure that funding improves the educational experience and degree completion of TCC Students.
Can I designate my TCC gift for a special project or purpose?
Yes. If you would like to designate your gift for a specific project, purpose, or scholarship, please contact the TCC Foundation at tccfoundation@tccfoundation.org or 918-595-7977. One of our development officers will work with you to ensure that your funds are used per your request.
