Revenue model

1. Charitable Donations: Individual donors contribute funds to support student scholarships, faculty development, programs, and college initiatives. Donations are received through an online portal and can be directed to specific purposes or the general fund.
2. Scholarship Endowments: Donors establish endowed scholarships with minimum contributions of $20,000 (may be paid over time). The principal is invested in perpetuity while earnings fund annual scholarships. Named endowments and annual scholarships provide recognition opportunities for donors.
3. Planned Giving: Deferred giving vehicles including retirement plan distributions, noncash gifts (stock, securities, real estate, art, patents, copyrights), insurance policy beneficiaries, wills and trusts, gift annuities, and donor advised funds. Provides tax advantages for donors while ensuring long-term support.
4. Event Revenue: Annual fundraising events including the Golf Tournament and Performing Arts Series generate revenue through registration fees, sponsorships, and ticket sales. The Golf Tournament has raised over $330,000 since inception.
5. Matching Gifts: Corporate gift-matching programs where companies match employee charitable contributions, amplifying individual donations. Includes the State of Florida First Generation Matching Grant challenge for first-generation college student scholarships.
