Support Dual Credit Students

Tarrant County College is committed to ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality college education—regardless of financial circumstances. Following the passage of House Bill 8 (HB 8), TCC took an extraordinary step forward by committing to cover tuition costs for all dual credit students, creating unprecedented access to college-level learning for thousands of high school students across our community.

While tuition is no longer an obstacle, many students still face the cost of essential learning materials, including textbooks, lab kits, software, and online learning platforms. These required resources cost approximately $150 per student, per semester and can place a significant financial burden on families.

Your support can help bridge this gap.

A gift to support Dual Credit students ensures that young scholars have the tools they need to succeed from the first day of class. By investing in learning materials, you empower students to focus on achieving their academic goals rather than worrying about educational expenses.

Join us in opening doors to opportunity and helping the next generation of college graduates, workforce leaders, and community changemakers thrive. Give Now.

Pledges & Recurring Contributions

Pledges allow donors to make a longer-term commitment through a customized payment schedule over a designated period. This flexible option enables you to maximize your philanthropic impact while planning your giving over time. Please note that pledge commitments are not tax-deductible until payments are actually made. To explore giving through a pledge, contact the Foundation office: 817 515-5277 or foundation.info@tccd.edu.

Recurring online gifts provide an easy and effective way to sustain your support. By setting up automatic contributions—typically on a monthly basis—you can make a lasting difference through manageable payments that add up to significant impact over time.

Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is one of the most flexible and tax-efficient ways to support Tarrant County College. Established through a public charity, community foundation, or sponsoring financial institution, a DAF allows individuals, families, and organizations to make charitable contributions, receive an immediate tax benefit, and recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations over time.

By using a Donor Advised Fund, you can create a lasting philanthropic legacy while supporting the students, programs, and priorities of Tarrant County College Foundation. Donors may contribute assets to their fund, receive an immediate charitable tax deduction, and then recommend gifts to IRS-qualified public charities—including the TCC Foundation—whenever it is most meaningful and convenient.

To make giving even easier, we offer the option to recommend grants directly through Fidelity Charitable® and Schwab Charitable® Donor Advised Funds.

If you have questions about making a gift through a Donor Advised Fund, we invite you to contact us at 817-515-5277 or foundation.info@tccd.edu. Our team would be pleased to assist you in creating an impact that transforms lives through education.

Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a smart and tax-efficient way to support the Tarrant County College Foundation while making a meaningful difference in the lives of TCC students.

A gift of securities may allow you to make a larger charitable contribution than would be possible with cash alone. In many cases, donors who contribute appreciated assets can receive a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift while potentially avoiding capital gains taxes that would otherwise be incurred through a sale.

By donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to the Foundation, you can leverage the full value of your investment to support scholarships, student programs, and educational initiatives that transform lives and strengthen our community.

The transfer process is simple, and the Foundation team is available to help ensure your gift is completed efficiently and in accordance with your charitable goals.

To learn more about making a gift of securities or to discuss the most effective transfer method, please contact the Tarrant County College Foundation at 817-515-5277 or foundation.info@tccd.edu. We would be pleased to work with you and your financial advisors to help maximize the impact of your generosity.

Memorial & Tribute Gifts

A memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to celebrate the life, accomplishments, and lasting impact of someone special—a family member, friend, teacher, mentor, student, or colleague.

When you make a memorial or tribute gift to the TCC Foundation, your contribution can be directed to the scholarship fund or program of your choice. We will notify the honoree or, in the case of a memorial gift, the next of kin, of your thoughtful recognition. To ensure proper acknowledgment, please include the honoree’s name and the mailing address of the honoree or next of kin with your gift.
