The Hudson Valley Community College Foundation exists to support the College. To do this, we solicit contributions that can be used for student scholarships, for equipment purchases and for program development. While our primary focus is to obtain unrestricted dollars that can be directed where needed most, many of our donors restrict their giving to a particular area.
A number of departments and programs have Foundation accounts. The funds in those accounts are to be used only for the purposes specified. Proper college protocol (https://www.hvcc.edu/finance/manual.pdf) must be followed when making any purchases. We are happy to answer any questions about department and program funds such as account balances and whether or not a proposed expenditure is allowed. When requesting funds, please use the check request form which can be found online at https://www.hvcc.edu/foundation/checkrequest.pdf. Please remember to attach all receipts and invoices when submitting the check request, and to allow two weeks for processing.
The Foundation also acts as the agent through which non-cash donations are channeled. If you are approached by someone who wants to donate a non-cash item (often referred to as a “gift-in-kind”) to the college, please check with your department or program chair to see if the proposed contribution is an item that fits our educational mission.
If your department or program chair agrees that the item would be useful, s/he needs to fill out a non-monetary donation form which can be found online at https://www.hvcc.edu/foundation/non-monetary-donation.pdf. Please note that instructions for filling out the form are located on the third page of the document. Also, this form must be signed by the department/program chair, the supervising dean/director, the appropriate vice president, the Vice President of Finance and the President (in that order) before the item can be accepted. If you have questions about non-monetary donations or gifts-in-kind, please contact Kim Berry at 629-8007.
The Foundation is here to support your efforts. Please call (629-8012) or stop by (400 Jordan Road) if you have any questions or suggestions.
