Leaving a Legacy

The Amy McPherson Memorial Scholarship was created in loving memory of our infant daughter, Amy, who passed away in 1988. During that heartbreaking time, the compassion and skill of the nurse who cared for us in the Emergency Room left an indelible mark. Her presence was truly a gift.

Verne and Susan McPhearson

Donors for Amy McPherson Memorial Scholarship Fund

"Years later, as we learned about the growing need for nurses nationwide, we felt called to make a difference. As longtime supporters of community and technical colleges, we wanted to help students pursue their dreams through Anoka-Ramsey’s highly respected nursing program. Since 2008, this scholarship has supported more than 15 nursing students at Anoka-Ramsey. Meeting these recipients and seeing their dedication has been deeply rewarding. Knowing that our gift helps strengthen the future of nursing care in Minnesota — and honors Amy’s memory — means everything to us."

Create a Scholarship (Endowment Named & One Time)

Endowments typically bear the name of a donor, reflect the donor's interests and serve as an enduring testament to the donor's generosity. An endowment is a gift that is invested to generate interest. The Foundations offer two types of endowments:

Term endowment: minimum endowment of $25,000 -- negotiated after five years
True endowment: minimum endowment of $50,000 -- exists for perpetuity or until the status of the college/foundation changes

You are invited to contribute to a current endowed scholarship or start a new one. Email foundation@anokaramsey.edu for information.

In-Kind Gift

An in-kind gift is a non-cash gift, usually tangible, including artwork, photography, medical equipment, and books. Non-tangible gifts could also include a service or gift certificate or coupon. To make an in-kind gift, please email foundation@anokaramsey.edu to discuss the college’s or foundation’s interest in accepting the non-cash gift. If the college or foundation wishes to accept the gift, the donor bears the responsibility to complete the Acceptance of Non-Cash Gifts Form and submit it to the Foundation Office. NOTE: tax laws place the burden of appraisal on the donor. An in-kind donation valued higher than $5000 requires an appraisal.

Matching a Gift

Many corporations have demonstrated their support for Anoka-Ramsey by matching or multiplying their employees' gifts up to a set amount. Ask whether your employer or your spouse’s employer participates in such a program. Certain restrictions apply to matching gifts; please consult your company's personnel office for further information.

Planned Gift

A planned gift is one that is made as part of your overall financial and estate plan. It can have immediate benefits for you and can help Anoka-Ramsey in the future. You may receive tax advantages, including charitable deductions for income, gift, and estate taxes. In many cases, you may also avoid capital gains tax. Please consult your tax advisor to determine what the tax deductions may apply to you.

Real Estate & Securities

When you give a gift of your home or real property, you may claim an income-tax charitable deduction based on the full market value of the gift, avoid capital gains taxes, and eliminate certain costs associated with the transfer of real property. Gifts of real estate can also provide income to you.

Employee Deduction

Every gift matters! A few dollars per pay period can create transformative opportunities for our students and programs. Direct your support to the area that means the most to you.
