Gifts in Memory of a Friend or Loved One

A gift in memory of a friend or loved one is a meaningful way to convey sympathy to the bereaved or memorialize the individual.

Providing the gift of education through a contribution to the Broward College Memorial Endowed Scholarship is a way of keeping a loved one’s memory alive, in perpetuity, and creates a legacy for individuals who are being memorialized through the gift of education the scholarship provides. Alternatively, if you would like to learn more about setting up a separate scholarship or fund in memory of a loved one, please reach out to a member of our team at foundation@broward.edu.

How do I mention Broward College in an obituary or recommend that gifts be made to Broward College in lieu of flowers?

We suggest that you use text like this:

The family requests that memorial gifts be made in support of the Broward College Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Broward College. Checks made payable to “Broward College Foundation” can be mailed to:

Attn: Gift Processing
Broward College Foundation
111 East Las Olas Blvd, 11th Floor
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301

Individuals may also make a gift online. Please mention the name of the person you are recognizing with your gift. If you would like Broward College to notify a family member, please also indicate the name and address of the individual to be notified in the “comments” field.

Gifts in Honor of a Friend or Loved One

A gift in honor of someone is a way to make a lasting tribute to commemorate a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, or graduation, or to honor a person’s life and accomplishments.

To make gifts in honor of a friend or loved one, individuals may make a gift by check made payable to “Broward College Foundation” or give online. Please mention the name of the person you are recognizing with your gift, and if there is a specific fund being used to honor this individual by writing a memo on your check or adding info to the “tribute information” section when making a gift online. If you would like Broward College to notify the honoree or a family member, please also indicate the name and address of the individual to be notified.

If you would like to learn more about setting up a separate scholarship or fund to honor a friend or loved one, please reach out to a member of our team at foundation@broward.edu.
