Build a Legacy That Lasts Forever
Your generosity has the power to shape the future of Central Texas students for generations. Whether you choose to establish a permanent endowment or include the ACC Foundation in your estate plans, your gift ensures that educational opportunities remain open, far into the future.
YOUR LEGACY
Your Vision. Their Future.
Through Endowed Funds and Estate Giving, you can align your personal financial goals with your passion for education—leaving a legacy that strengthens our community.
Endowed Funds: Permanent fund created now or through an estate gift. The principal remains invested while annual distributions fund scholarships, academic programs, and student support in perpetuity.
Estate Giving (Planned Gifts): Tailored gifts made through your will, trust, or beneficiary designations that take effect in the future, allowing you to make a transformational impact while maintaining your current financial security.

Understanding Endowments
Endowments are permanent funds that generate distributions to fund scholarships, professorships, fellowships, programs, or other purposes you specify. They offer you the opportunity to name the fund and create a lasting legacy that carries your name forward for generations.
Once your endowment is established, others may contribute to it, and often family and friends make tribute gifts because they believe in the cause or program your endowment supports.
Ways to Give
Building your legacy can take many forms beyond traditional cash donations. Below are the most common ways to fund an endowment or include the ACC Foundation in your estate plans.
We strongly recommend consulting with a financial advisor or tax accountant to maximize your philanthropic and tax benefits.
- Cash
- Retirement accounts
- Bequests from wills and trusts
- Stocks, bonds, and securities
- Donor-advised funds
