Honor and Memorial Giving
Thank you for considering a memorial gift to Great Basin College Foundation.  We greatly appreciate your support. Donors typically make gifts in memory of a deceased family member, friend or co-worker.

Each gift helps Great Basin College Foundation meet our mission “to enhance the overall mission of Great Basin College as an institution of higher learning, achieved primarily through cultivation and management of fiscal resources, and promotion of the College’s image throughout the region”.

Memorial Gift Designation

Memorial gifts advance to the unrestricted fund of Great Basin College Foundation unless otherwise restricted by a donor.  This fund provides flexibility, allowing us to act quickly to address campus needs, take advantage of special opportunities and support the costs related to raising private funds for the college. For information about establishing an endowed or temporary fund, please contact Patty Jones at 775.753.2236.

Memorial Language Used in an Obituary

Families may ask for memorial gifts through the obituary. The notice in the obituary might read, “ In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to Great Basin College Foundation, P.O. Box 2056, Elko, NV 89803”.

Memorial Gift Acknowledgement

When making a memorial gift, please include the name and address of the individual you would like us to notify of your gift. We then send an acknowledgement of your donation to the individual you designate. You will receive acknowledgement of your gift and confirmation that we notified the designated individual of your thoughtfulness.

Again, we thank you for choosing to honor and celebrate the life of your loved one by supporting Great Basin College Foundation.
