Go Green in 2013
The Central Community College Foundation was established in
1989 as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. The mission of
the Foundation is to assist students in pursuing their educational
goals by providing monetary and advisory support to Central
Community College.
Fiscal 2013 was a very strong year for the Foundation based on our
donor support with respect to our successful campaigns, events,
planned giving, and strategic direction. Our assets are approximately $6.5 million with deferred and/or expectant gifts right at
$2 million. The Legacy Society is building annually with all
our donors supporting Central Community College (CCC) and their
commitment to education and career development.
Dean Moors
This year’s theme is “Go Green in 2013,” which signifies not only new and enhanced dollars
from our donors but growth in our funds and assets and, yes, sustainability within the Foundation.
We sincerely thank all our donors and hope to continue our strong funding of scholarships and
programs through CCC.

College President’s Report
At Central Community College student access and success are at the
core of our role and mission. We strive to assure that our students meet
their learning objectives and educational goals in a friendly, supportive
environment. CCC attempts to keep education affordable and within
reach of all who desire it. In this endeavor the CCC Foundation plays a
key role within our community, providing crucial financial support for
students.
The CCC Foundation’s work advances our common goal of placing
Dr. Greg P. Smith
students first by assuring private support for high quality, low cost
public education. The men and women who contribute their time,
energy, and expertise to the Foundation’s Board of Directors deserve our special thanks. This talented
board is a unified body whose commitment benefits all those who look to CCC to help fulfill their hopes
and dreams. The members of the board set an example for others last year with 100% of them personally
contributing funds to the Foundation.
With CCC experiencing overall enrollment growth in the last five years, the work of the CCC Foundation
is increasingly important. Our dual challenge is to offer programs, facilities, and opportunities that enable
a diverse array of men and women to improve their lives and their communities while making those
opportunities as affordable as possible.
We can all be proud that thousands of men and women of all ages, from across our 25-county area and
beyond, turn to CCC each year with high educational expectations. There is an implicit agreement entered
into each time a student enrolls that CCC will provide learning environments conducive to success and that,
in return, the student will invest the energy and effort necessary to achieve success.
This agreement is possible in large part due to support from individuals, businesses, and organizations
dedicated to improving our overall quality of life through generous contributions to provide financial aid,
programs, and facilities for our deserving students. I speak for all affiliated with CCC and the communities we serve when I express heartfelt gratitude to the numerous private donors listed in this report for their
past benevolence. Thanks to you, we look forward to a continued relationship of mutual support for CCC’s
future students.

Foundation President’s Report
Something special happens at each of our Board of Directors
meetings. At each meeting a student who has benefited from a
scholarship through the Central Community College Foundation
tells us a little about their background and how the scholarship
has helped them. Sometimes what we hear can shake us up.
Often, this is a very emotional time. I wish that every donor and
potential donor could hear these messages. It is a great reminder
of why the donations and the work of the Foundation are so
important to Central Community College.
Jack Schreiner
Without your help, many of these students would not be able to get an education. We all know
that education can make a significant difference in lives. It also shapes our communities, the
nation, and the world.
There are many meaningful ways to give. When our daughter passed away a few years ago, we
started a Memorial Scholarship in her name through the Foundation. We found it to be a rewarding
way to remember her. Please contact the Foundation office if you would like to learn more about
how you can make a difference.
Scholarship funds are, once again, slowly increasing. Improvements in the investment markets
are starting to help. Employees and Alumni of Central Community College are recognizing the
value of scholarships through their generosity. We are starting to see more people considering
Planned Giving through the Foundation as part of their legacy.
Overall, it has been a good year. Dean and his staff are doing a remarkable job. The college
administration and the Foundation Board of Directors take their job very seriously. We will all
continue to work hard to help even more students in the future.

The Legacy Society...
An Investment in the Future
The Legacy Society allows the donor to leave a gift in the form of a bequest naming
Central Community College Foundation as a beneficiary in his or her will. This
can be done by a percentage of or a fixed amount of their estate. Other methods
of donating to the Legacy Society include life insurance policies or other planned
giving programs.
For more information as to how you can become a member of the Legacy Society,
contact Dean Moors, Executive Director, at dmoors@cccneb.edu or 402-460-2153.

My employment with Central Community College began in 1969-70 in Columbus.
The campus was in its infancy when I was asked to teach an accounting course
at night; at that time I was teaching accounting at Columbus High. In the fall
of 1970 I became a full-time accounting instructor at Platte College and taught
accounting the next four years. I served as an administrator from 1974 until my
retirement in 2006. My administrative duties included cluster chairperson,
Associate Dean of Instruction and Interim Dean.
Leon and Barb Sanders
Barb also had connections with the campus working part-time from 1972 to
1990. Her duties during that time included community education night classes,
managing the NPPD Learning Center, teaching computer workshops and
substituting during a maternity leave. Barb’s second career was as an insurance
agent for State Farm from 1990 to 2009.
Since both of us spent a good share of our lives with campus students, faculty and staff, it seemed appropriate to
make plans to continue that relationship with the college by naming the CCC Foundation as a beneficiary in our
personal estate plan. By contributing a future gift to the Foundation, we are assured that one or more students will
be able to further their education and, in turn, make a contribution to society. It is gratifying to know that having
a local college makes higher education more affordable and a reality for many. The CCC Foundation makes a
difference in the lives of many, many students each year, and we encourage others to help support their efforts.

Planned Giving
Bequests
A bequest is one of the simplest forms of planned giving for individuals and families and can
be one of your most effective tools for protecting the security of your loved ones.
When you create a will or living trust, you have the ability to decide how your assets will be
distributed at your death. You can include provisions, or bequests, that indicate to whom you’d
like to give specific assets or amounts.
Besides naming family members and other loved ones, you can also include bequests to charitable organizations such as the Central Community College Foundation. When you include a
gift to the Foundation in your estate plans, you join a group of instrumental supporters whose
donations support Central Community College programs along with scholarships.
Advantages of a Bequest
It’s easy to do. Making a bequest is as simple as inserting a few sentences into your will or
living trust.
You can change your mind. Your estate plan can be changed at any time. With a bequest, you
are not actually making a gift until your death. Until then, you are free to alter your plans,
eliminating the worry that you might make a commitment you could later regret.
It may reduce the taxes on your estate. If you choose to make a bequest to the Central
Community College Foundation, you’ll receive valuable tax benefits in addition to feeling
good about helping others. Your estate is entitled to an unlimited estate tax deduction for
bequests to qualified charitable organizations.
How it Works
Your estate planning attorney can help you structure a gift so your wishes for your loved ones
and favorite causes will be accurately fulfilled. You can include charitable bequests when you
create your will or living trust, or you can add a bequest later by means of a codicil to your will
or an amendment to your trust.
Just a few sentences, called bequest language, in your will or living trust are all that is needed.
You can give us a specific item or amount, or you can give us a percentage of what is left of
your estate after others have received their share. A percentage allows your gift to remain proportionate to your estate size.
Although not necessary, notifying us that we are being named in your will or trust documents
helps ensure that your bequest will be executed in the manner you intended and allows you to
become a member of our “Legacy Society” recognized in our annual report.
There are various ways and strategies to make a bequest to us, but please discuss these with
your estate planning attorney as you prepare to create or update your estate plan. You need
someone who understands the laws in your state, as well as federal law, and someone who can
translate your wishes appropriately.
Remember, CCC graduates help fuel Nebraska’s economy as over 80% of the graduates stay
in the 25-county CCC area and over 95% stay in Nebraska.
We’re happy to send you a copy of our official bequest language or answer your questions
about bequests and other planned giving options. Please give us a call at (402)-460-2153
or email at dmoors@cccneb.edu.

CCC Retiree Tuition Program
In 1994, the Foundation Board of Directors unanimously approved to institute a tuition
program for retired Central Community College (CCC) employees and/or spouse who desire
to continue their education at CCC.
The following criteria were established at that time:
• Retiree/Spouse must have attained the age of 55 years
• Employee must have completed a minimum of 10 years of continuous full-time
employment at CCC
• “Retirement” must be indicated on their personnel action document at the CCC
Human Resources Department
• A maximum of 5 credit hours each for retiree and spouse is allotted per year
Please contact the CCC Foundation office for further information and requirements for this
program.
The Foundation Board of Directors is appreciative of the increasing and ongoing support given
to the Foundation by this group of individuals and feels it is important to offer this program
to CCC retirees. Below you will find a personal account from Walt Miller, retired Drafting
instructor from the Hastings Campus, who has benefited from this program since his retirement
in 2001.
I taught Architectural Drafting at CCC in Hastings from 1970 to 2001
in three different buildings. The campus is the headquarters area for
the former Naval Ammunition Depot built in WWII and operated until
1966. The brick buildings are elegant architectural treasures is Jeffersonian style like the University of Virginia. As an architect I appreciate
these buildings more than words can say. The joy of being able to savor
them daily as a CCC employee has been priceless.
The CCC Retiree Association over the last 12 years has been a perfect
format for me to maintain an ongoing relationship with the College and
staff, be informed of the latest changes and growth, and interact with
former fellow employees. I still feel welcome and a part of CCC.
Walt Miller
The CCC Foundation retirement tuition reimbursement program has been a marvelous benefit
to me. Nearly every year I sign up for a class at CCC, especially in drafting where I have been
able to stay current with all the latest CAD updates. It has made it possible to develop the ongoing
Original NAD Building Plaque Project. Soon each of the original brick CCC buildings will
have an exterior bronze plaque with photos and narration of its use by the U.S. Navy. A milelong campus walking trail past these plaques is a very distinct possibility in the future.
Working with the campus’s Veterans & Military Services Director, Travis Karr, and Facilities
Management Director, Ed Long, to restore historic NAD monuments has been a very gratifying
endeavor.

Student Scholarship Support–Endowed Scholarships
A number of permanently endowed funds have been established for student and college support over the
years. Monies in these endowed funds are invested, with scholarships and support awarded from investment earnings only. The principal of the endowed funds remains intact to continue providing scholarships
and support for future students and the programs at Central Community College.
The Foundation also coordinates a number of other scholarships that have not been permanently endowed.
They are too numerous to list in the annual report. If you or someone you know would like to set up or receive information about either an endowed scholarship or another type of scholarship, please contact Dean
Moors, Executive Director of the Central Community College Foundation.
The following is a list of the endowed scholarships that the Foundation oversees. For a broader synopsis of
these scholarships, please visit the Foundation’s website, cccneb.edu/foundation.

Scholarship Spotlight
The Central Community College Foundation manages over 200 accounts which include restricted and
endowed funds. Many of the funds we manage can be added to by other donors. We would like to highlight
a few of our funds for your review and consideration.
Central Community College Foundation General Endowment Fund
In 2012, the Board of Directors set a direction to permanently endow this fund in perpetuity in order to
receive donations for the purpose of self-supporting the operations of the Foundation. At an endowed level,
the Foundation will be able to generate earnings from the endowed fund to pay for all annual operating
expenses so every dollar raised can go towards scholarships and programs for Central Community College.
Memorial Scholarship Funds
The Foundation has separate restricted and endowed memorial funds to fund scholarships for students going
to any of CCC’s campuses or Learning Centers. Individuals and families can set up specific memorial funds
to honor the memory of a loved one for a specific year, program, and location. The Foundation will also set
up Memorial Endowment Funds to honor the memory of the loved one(s) in perpetuity.
Service Award Foundation Endowed Scholarship Fund
This fund was set up for employees when they reach 15 years of service. They can receive a gift, or in lieu
of a gift, donate to the Foundation ranging from $50 to $300 depending on the years of service. Over the
years, these donations have generated scholarships for students attending CCC. The fund continues to grow
and make a difference in the lives of CCC students.
This week my daughter’s car broke down. A timing belt went out, which in effect
caused the engine to fail rendering the used car inoperable. I see the CCC Foundation
a little like that timing belt. It is not the part of the College that is regularly highlighted
or considered for vital maintenance, yet its existence and performance provides a necessary function in the health and advancement of our campuses. Specific examples of the
Foundation’s support for the Columbus Campus area include:
•
Professional development funds to allow faculty and staff to learn
advanced knowledge in their field
•
Support of our Fine Arts programs through the Theater Seat scholarship fund and support for our Spectrum students to perform in
Carnegie Hall
•
Expansion of our athletics program with the addition of Women’s
Softball, and reinstatement of Men’s Golf, Men’s Soccer and Women’s Basketball
•
Purchasing a simulation manikin for use by our nursing students in cooperation with
Columbus Community Hospital
•
Co-sponsoring youth, leadership and small business events as part of a U.S. Department of
Agriculture grant for Valley, Sherman and Greeley counties
•
Recognition of outstanding students, faculty, staff, retirees and donors
•
Adult Education, Veterans and “Students at a Distance” Scholarships
Matt Gotschall
Columbus Campus
President
Future opportunities where the CCC Foundation donors will play a key role include efforts to update and expand
our East Education Building for use by the Science and Nursing students, update equipment for Manufacturing
students and implementing Student Success strategies. Personally, I am a CCC Foundation donor and will continue
to support the Foundation as an essential part of the College. Just like that timing belt, I have grown to greatly
appreciate the hard work of the Foundation donors, director, staff and Board in keeping the CCC engine running
and operating at peak performance.

Donor Honor Roll
Over the years, thousands of individuals and organizations have designated Central Community College and the CCC
Foundation as recipients of their contributions. This support has come in a variety of ways—through grants, capital
campaigns, memorials, scholarships and other fund raising activities. Our Donor Honor Roll reflects gifts from patrons
to the CCC Foundation.
Due to the rising costs of printing and to participate in CCC’s Sustainability Education and Economic Development
(SEED) Pact, the Foundation has gleaned the Donor Honor Roll to include the following categories:
Board of Governor’s Club–Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze, President’s Society, and Foundation Builder’s Club include
lifetime contributions, must fall within the designated monetary values, and the most recent gift must have been within
the past three fiscal years. Dean’s Club, Faculty Club, Century Club, and Campus Club include lifetime contributions and
the most recent gift must have been within the past fiscal year.
*Legacy Donors are listed on page 6 of this annual report.
**NOTE: Every effort is made to place each donor in the proper giving category. However, with thousands of donor accounts,
errors sometimes occur. If you feel that your account is listed incorrectly, please contact the Foundation office.

We can all relate to the financial challenges faced by students. Everything, including a
college education, costs more than in past years and it has become harder to make ends meet.
Many students and their families are overwhelmed and intimidated by the cost of education. Due to the recent economic downturn and unforeseen circumstances, parents have found that
they are no longer able to contribute as much as they had planned towards the cost of their
child’s education. Non-traditional students, who may be raising a family or who have other
financial obligations, are understandably reluctant to take on additional debt to fund their
education. Other students find they are not eligible for any other types of financial aid other
than scholarships. I know from personal experience the difference scholarships make in a student’s life. And,
during my years in higher education, I have heard many testimonials from students expressing what scholarships have meant to them. A scholarship often bridges the gap in funding
needed to start or finish college.
Bill Hitesman

Contributions to the Central Community College Foundation benefit not only individual students but also positively
affect our communities, area businesses and industries. I hope you will commit to helping our students accomplish their
educational goals—it’s a great return on your investment! 11

Central Community College Foundation Report from Grand Island Campus
Central Community College touches lives every day and the impact is lasting. We
live in an increasingly complex and competitive global environment. To engage
successfully in an ever-changing society requires a quality education. Today’s
employers are seeking innovative individuals who can think in multifaceted ways to
solve complex problems and work in partnership with others. The Central Community
College Foundation inspires, empowers and transforms students’ lives through donations towards student scholarships.
On the Grand Island Campus students supported by the Foundation are everywhere.
They are in our health science programs, technical programs and taking transfer
courses. First generation college students, veterans, single parents, and returning adult
students are enrolled with the ultimate goal of changing and improving their lives.
Michael Calvert
Grand Island
Campus President
I offer a couple of testimonials: A first generation college student stated, “I remember getting the letter in
the mail saying that I had been accepted into the college of my choice.… I went to show my mom and her
excitement didn’t match mine. She had a sharp response of, “How are you going to pay for that?” I froze.
I knew that if I wanted something, I was going to have to work for it. Between my job and through dollars
from the CCC Foundation, I am able to pursue my dreams and attend college.” Another student said,” I
am one of the few members in my family to ever graduate from high school and go on to college. There
has been so many obstacles and negativity from many people in my life. Teachers telling I would never be
someone in society, to others who said, “You’re always going to be a bum.” I took all that frustration out
on my studies, and I was on a mission to prove everyone wrong.” These examples are a small sample of the
significant impact Foundation scholarships make on the Grand Island Campus.
Central Community College would not be what it is today without support from our many friends through
the CCC Foundation. The amazing generosity of our donors has been and will continue to help to ensure
Central’s continued distinction as an outstanding educational institution.

EMPLOYEES GIFT
SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
“I am writing this letter to thank
you very much for the scholarship
you have gifted me. The Employee
Gifts Scholarship worth $500 is an
overwhelming amount that will be
very useful for me next semester.
I am very humbled to the fact that
you accepted me as the recipient of
this honor. The ways it will help me
is unexplainable. The fact that I am
a single mother, any help I receive
for college is greatly appreciated.
I do not have to worry about how
I will pay for school and raise him
the way I want him to be raised. I
feel I cannot express my gratuity
in this letter enough. All I can keep
saying is thank you, thank you, and
thank you again.”

very excited when I found out I was chosen to receive this generous gift. It has been
my goal to become a registered nurse through the Nursing Program at Central

I complete Microbiology this summer. I have been accepted into the Nursing
Program for this upcoming fall semester. I am anxiously anticipating this next
chapter in my life. Again, I very much appreciate being chosen as the recipient of
this scholarship.”

Tech Prep Scholarship
“Thank you so much for choosing me as a recipient for the Tech Prep Scholarship. I am
honored to think my achievements at Central Community College are worthy of your
recognition. I am very grateful for your generous college assistance. I have had a
wonderful first year of college. I have learned many new welding techniques that I would
not have been able to accomplish without some great instructors. It is a great feeling
knowing I am closer to obtaining my Associate of Applied Science Degree in welding. My
future plans are to find welding employment in the Hastings area. This scholarship
will help relieve some of my financial burden. I look forward to someday being able
to give back to my community exactly like you. Thanks again!”

“I am very honored to receive the Chester Gausman Scholarship for 2013-14. Following my
graduation from Columbus High School in May, I will attend Central Community CollegeColumbus this fall. After receiving my Associate’s Degree, I plan to transfer to a
4-year university in Nebraska to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Pathology. My
goal has been to receive my education as a Speech Pathologist and work in a hospital
or school in Nebraska and this scholarship will help me to further my education toward
my dream career. I’m excited to attend CCC as a full-time student as I feel the small
class sizes, personal attention, and close proximity to home will make my college
experience very positive. I have also been selected to represent CCC on the Raider
Dance Team, which I am looking forward to. Thank you for this honor and this scholarship will be put to good use.”
