EA also offers a combined giving opportunity for those who wish to donate a partial scholarship. You are welcome to participate in the scholarship appeal in any amount.

Scholarship gifts are short-term, one-time gifts. If you wish to participate in an income-generating account, establishing an endowment may be the gift of choice for you.

Endowments

An endowment is an income-generating gift that will be held in perpetuity and whose principal shall be left undisturbed. The income earned from the endowment may enable scholarships to be awarded to Sacramento City College students.

Endowed funds:

• Exist in perpetuity
• May be named after the donor or an honoree
• Ensure funding for a specified scholarship or college program

An endowment establishes a trust whose interest income supports a scholarship or a program service.  Our staff will gladly assist you in establishing an endowment.  The minimum requirement to create an endowment is $5,000.

Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a source of unrestricted funds for the college.
