Big Sandy Named Giving Opportunities
Your investment in the Big Sandy Community and Technical College 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 BSCTC 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 BSCTC 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.
