Become a Member of the Heritage Society
Heritage Society Mission…
The mission of the Mt. Hood Community College Foundation Heritage Society is to formally recognize the very special friends of MHCC who have made provisions for the college in their estate plans. The society recognizes the deep commitment of those who value education and who, through their bequests, life income arrangements, beneficiary designations, or other forms of planned and deferred gifts, have created a legacy that will provide quality educational opportunities for MHCC students for years to come.
Financial Benefits of Making a Deferred Gift…
Tax laws reward those who make gifts in a variety of ways. Most forms of deferred gifts and outright gifts provide immediate tax deductions now. Others provide avoidance of capital gains taxes on appreciated securities or property. Still others provide both of these tax benefits. Each gift is different. The Foundation, along with the advice of our personal advisers, can help you plan your gift to your best advantage. Of course, nothing can top the joy of giving a gift that will make a difference in the lives of students.
Benefits of Joining the Heritage Society…
The joy of making a difference and creating a lasting legacy. Invitation to annual recognition reception. Irrevocable gifts of $5,000 or more will be recognized on the Foundation Donor Wall.
How to Join…
Joining the Heritage Society is easy. Just complete the Enrollment Form indicating what your plans are for the college in your estate plan and fax to 503-491-6008 (This form is in .pdf format and must be viewed with Acrobat Reader.), or mail it to the Foundation Office. That’s the easy part! The hard part is having the resolve and making the commitment to meet with your advisers and family to begin the process of completing your personal estate plan. The Foundation has printed materials to help you get started. The Foundation staff can also help you evaluate your needs and suggest additional resources and solutions.
