Foundation FAQ's

GBC Foundation Sage Logo graphic.Here are answers to some of the more common questions we receive about how we handle gifts to the Great Basin College Foundation.

Who Handles My Gift?

The Great Basin College Foundation is happy to accept gifts for Great Basin College programs/departments. Per IRS codes for immediate deposit, we deposit the gift into our accounts and provide the funding to the school in a separate transaction. The Foundation sends a gift acknowledgement as soon as your gift has been received. Please save these receipts for your tax records.

What if I Receive Goods or Services in Connection with My Gift?

The IRS requires that we inform you, via your gift receipt/acknowledgement, of the value of any goods or services you may have received along with the resulting value of your contribution.

What Do You Do with My Gift?

Your gift may be placed in an established fund, which is administered by a GBC fund administrator (a staff or faculty member). Gifts of appropriate size may be placed in a newly created fund that will accomplish your wishes.

Can My Company Match my Gift?

Many employers will match charitable gifts from their employees. You can double or even triple your gift using a corporate match. Most employers will require you report your donation and/or provide a copy of your gift receipt to make their matching contribution on your behalf. Information about matching gifts is generally available from your employer’s Human Resources department.

What Can I do to Serve the Next Generation?

Remember Great Basin College Foundation in your will. Check out our Planned Giving page for more information.

Can I Give Something Besides Cash?

Yes! The Foundation may accept in-kind and other noncash gifts. * Examples include:

  • Wills and trusts: A bequest, charitable trust or annuity may benefit you, your heirs, and make a lasting difference for Great Basin College students.
  • Real property: Gifts of real estate.
  • Personal property: Gifts of personal property, such as artwork, equipment or other material goods may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. Please check out our Non-cash Giving page for more information on how to give.

What is Your Annual Fund?

Unrestricted support, referred to as “Annual Fund” dollars, is one of the most important fund-raising priorities for our college, as GBC has few other sources of flexible funding. For more information please visit our Annual Giving page.

Yes! This option is especially relevant for larger transactions. If you plan to transfer cash by wire or ACH, please contact our office for instructions on how to complete this type of transaction.
