Your investment in the Ashland Community and Technical College System
will make a significant impact on the lives of our students and
the businesses and communities we serve.
Private sector investments provide a critical
margin of support that enables ACTC to
pursue excellence in classroom instruction,
training for business and industry, continuing
education, cultural enrichment, community
service, and economic development.
We consider it an honor to recognize our
benefactors who have invested significantly
in our mission and vision. Your name, or the
name of someone you wish to honor, will be
recognized in a special way for your support
of the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign for
ACTC as outlined in this brochure.
Additional naming opportunities may be
developed at your request. Named giving
opportunities are offered for current gifts,
cash pledges over a five-year period, and
irrevocable planned gifts such as charitable
trusts.
ACTC also offers a number of named
endowed academic positions for college
faculty and endowed scholarships.
As the College enrollment of non-traditional
students with children increases so does the
need for quality child care. An off-site
facility will be designed specifically for child
care and designed to facilitate the students
enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Early
Childhood Education Program to receive
real-world training. Property located
adjacent to the College Drive campus has
been acquired for this initiative.
The Community and Technical College
Foundation of Ashland, Inc. has an
aggregation of endowments and gifts
provided by donors with the requirement
they be held and invested in perpetuity to
generate earnings now and in future years
to support the donor's intended purpose.
Annual income generated by endowment
can be used to support faculty, staff,
students, programs, and/or operational
needs of ACTC.
Faculty - $500,000/per endowment
This endowment proposes not only to
recognize faculty whose performance is
exemplary, but also to reward faculty who
document the learning gains of students
enrolled in their classes. The faculty of
ACTC is dedicated to the educational
success of their students. An endowed chair
fund can provide a systematic reward
system for recognizing excellence in
education.
Science and Technology -
$1,200,000
The future of our community's success rests
on a population educated in science and
technology. While our region's math and
science test scores for K-12 students are
improving, they are not at an acceptable
level. By establishing a permanent
endowment to fund workshops, supplies
and incentives for teachers, a regional
Science and Technology Fair for the FIVCO
area can be developed and managed. These
Fairs have proven to be catalysts in
developing the desire of young people to
learn more about science, math, technology
and related disciplines.
Workplace Literacy - $1,000,000
The most important asset of a community
or region is its workforce. A workplace
literacy endowment will provide funding for
increased accessibility of both employer and
employee to effective and efficient training.
Employer needs of the 21st Century require
that business and industry standards model
a high level of literacy, technical expertise
and knowledge. The FIVCO area has a high
rate of small businesses, those with 100 or
less employees. This endowment will
provide fifty percent partnerships for
training and target residents with learning
disabilities for training needed to become
gainfully employed.
Named Scholarships
($25,000 Minimum)
ACTC will name endowed scholarships to
support students attending ACTC. Donors
may designate the name, purpose, and
criteria for the awarding of scholarships
from the income generated by the
endowment.

A variety of named opportunities will be
available for the Ashland Community and
Technical College on both College Drive
