Support the Boettcher Scholars Fund
Over the years, we have heard from many Boettcher Scholar Alumni and others who have a strong desire to pay-it-forward by giving back to the scholarship program.
Anyone who is inspired by Boettcher Scholars can donate to the Boettcher Scholars Fund, a 501(c)(3)-public charity that provides philanthropic resources in support of the Boettcher Foundation’s charitable programs and initiatives.
Gifts for Today
You can support Boettcher Scholars in more ways than just giving cash. Many donors make a greater impact and realize tax advantages by giving through non-cash assets—stock, retirement accounts, donor-advised funds, and more. These types of gifts can offer significant tax benefits while providing immediate or future support for Colorado’s most promising students.

Give From Your IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA. This could help you meet your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and potentially reduce your taxable income, but please contact your tax advisor for your specific situation.
How to Give: Contact your IRA custodian and ask them to send the check for a “qualified charitable distribution” to the Boettcher Scholars Fund at the following address:

Donor-Advised Funds
Make a grant recommendation from your donor-advised fund—such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon—to the Boettcher Scholars Fund.
How to Give: Contact your donor-advised fund sponsor.
