Each option helps sustain State College of Florida Foundation’s mission, turning your values into lasting impact and ensuring the causes closest to your heart continue to thrive.

Our team is here to guide you every step of the way. For years, we’ve helped donors create meaningful legacies that reflect their values and bring lasting change to the communities they care about.

Because true giving endures — long after we do.

Tip of the Week

Variety is the spice of giving.

You can give almost any kind of highly appreciated property—such as closely-held stock, real estate, partnership interests, or valuable art—to a charitable remainder trust and receive major tax and income benefits.

So, all at once, you can:

Receive income for life

Take a charitable tax deduction

Avoid all capital gains tax

Support the mission of State College of Florida Foundation

You can even allow your assets to accumulate tax-free until you "turn on the income spigot" at retirement or some other future event, such as the start of your child's education.
