Hopkinsville Named Giving Opportunities
Your investment in Hopkinsville Community 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 HCC 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 HCC as outlined in this brochure. Additional naming opportunities may be developed at your request. Named giving opportunities are offered for outright gifts, cash pledges over a five-year period, and irrevocable planned gifts such as charitable trusts.

Endowments
The HCC Endowment is an aggregation of 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 endowments can be used to support faculty and students, programs, and/or operational needs of HCC. Endowments greatly enhance the community college's capacity to meet the needs of the region.

Named Academic Positions

Endowed Professorship - Minimum gift of $100,000

An endowed chair is a distinction awarded to a faculty member in recognition of significant contributions to the individual's academic discipline. An endowed chair may also be held by the current chair or director of an academic division. In addition to the academic honor given to the individual, an endowed chair or professorship provides funding for support of his or her teaching, research, and service responsibilities and is supported by annual income from a permanently invested endowment fund. Income may also be used to support the base salary of the endowed chair or professorship, unless expressly prohibited by the donor or gift agreement.

Endowed Lectureship - Minimum gift between $10,000 - $100,000
An endowed lectureship is a temporary appointment and may be given to a visiting scholar in temporary residence or may be used to support a lecture series on the topic for which the lectureship was created.
