January 8, 2019
The Who’s on the Move, BizSC, Non Profit Minute is a quick, one minute interview in support of the amazing impact that local non profits have on our communities.
We would like to thank our sponsors of this video series – The Sisters of Charity Foundation and NP Strategy.
Ann Wright, VP for Advancement, Greenville Tech Foundation
The Foundation was incorporated in 1973 and began operations in 1982. The Foundation raises funds, accepts in-kind gifts, manages the endowment and acts on behalf of Greenville Technical College. It is governed by a board of directors comprised of recognized Greenville County leaders in business, industry, and the professions.
The Foundation was established to reduce financial barriers at Greenville Technical College. They do this through scholarships, of course, but there is also an emerging opportunity. What if a car repair or a medical bill derails attendance at the college? The Foundation works to reduce ALL barriers in order to keep students in school.
The Foundation acquires its funding through charitable contributions from businesses, industries, foundations, organizations, and individuals. These tax-deductible contributions are made by cash, real or personal property, securities, bequests, or by naming the Foundation as beneficiary of insurance policies, trusts, or retirement plans.
