Popular Ways to Give
Gift of Cash
The Power of a Simple Gift
Sometimes, the simplest gestures make the biggest impact. One of the most straightforward and meaningful ways to support the Neohumanist College of Asheville is through a gift of cash. Whether you give today or plan for the future, your generosity helps us meet urgent needs and keep our mission thriving.
Scholarships
Historically, 75% of our students require a scholarship or tuition waiver to pursue their education. These are future educators who bring heart, resilience, and a deep commitment to making a difference—but they face financial barriers that threaten to keep them on the sidelines. Your past generosity has helped us build a foundation of access and excellence. Today, we invite you to be part of something transformative: helping launch a new generation of teachers who will shape lives for decades to come.
​
Give Today: An Outright Gift
A cash gift—whether by check, credit card, or automatic bank transfer—goes straight to work supporting NHCA’s students, programs, and daily operations. You’ll see your generosity in action and, if you itemize your taxes, you may also qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction.
​
Plan Ahead: A Payable on Death (POD) Account
Want to make a lasting impact without changing your finances today? A POD account or certificate of deposit allows you to name NHCA as a beneficiary. The funds remain entirely yours during your lifetime—you can use them, change the beneficiary, or close the account at any time. After your lifetime, your gift will help shape the future of NHCA.

Turn Your Retirement Savings into a Legacy of Learning
If you're 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to the Neohumanist College of Asheville. As long as the funds go directly to the college and meet an annual limit, the distribution will not be taxed. This kind of gift, known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) while supporting NHCA’s mission. It’s a simple way to use your retirement savings to invest in future generations—students, faculty, and programs that make NHCA thrive. ​
Donor Advised Funds
Flexible Giving That Reflects Your Values
If you have a donor advised fund (DAF), recommending a grant to the Neohumanist College of Asheville is a simple and impactful way to support the causes you care about. You can direct support to NHCA at any time—whether for immediate needs or long-term initiatives—while enjoying the flexibility and tax benefits your DAF provides. It’s a thoughtful way to align your philanthropic goals with NHCA’s mission to educate and empower future generations.
