Higher education provides opportunities for learning and innovation, which benefits both Hennepin Technical College (Hennepin Tech) students and society. In an age of declining public support and rising costs, private philanthropy is essential to ensure that Hennepin Tech continues to provide an affordable and quality education to those for whom the College is their only chance – and our community’s best hope – to build prosperity.
There are many ways to support Hennepin Tech. Whether your gift qualifies as an annual, endowed or planned gift, Hennepin Tech staff will work with you to ensure that your gift meets your own goals and financial needs while benefiting students and programs at the College. The Hennepin Technical College Foundation is the College’s tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) direct support organization which serves as the recipient and trustee of all charitable donations to the College.
