FAQ
I already have the Hagerstown Community College Foundation in my estate plans, but I haven’t documented it with the College. What if I wish to remain anonymous?
Your wish to remain anonymous will be respected. Even if you prefer no public recognition, please let us know your intent so we can honor your preferences and ensure your gift supports the area you care about most.
Why should I list the Hagerstown Community College Foundation, Inc. in my estate plans rather than the College?
Please designate Hagerstown Community College Foundation, Inc. as the beneficiary. The Foundation is the legal entity that manages and stewards endowment and philanthropic funds for HCC.
What should I share with my financial advisor to ensure HCC is included correctly?
Tell your advisor that your planned gift is for the Hagerstown Community College Foundation, Inc.
