Memorial Fund

Honor a Life. Inspire a Future.

A memorial fund is a meaningful way to honor someone’s life while supporting students who are building theirs. Gifts made in memory of a loved one create lasting impact by helping Ozarks Tech students pursue their education and reach their goals.

When you establish a memorial fund, friends and family can contribute to a cause that reflects your loved one’s values, turning remembrance into opportunity for generations to come.

How a Memorial Fund Works

• You may create a named fund in memory of a family member, friend, colleague, or loved one.
• Donations made to the fund go directly toward Ozarks Tech Foundation scholarships or programs that align with your wishes.
• The Foundation can assist with setting up the fund and providing information for use in obituaries or public notices (e.g., “In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the [Name] Memorial Fund at Ozarks Tech Foundation”).
• Contributors will receive acknowledgments, and the family may receive a report of gifts received in honor of their loved one.

Create a Lasting Tribute

Your memorial fund can be structured as a one-time scholarship, an annual award, or an endowed fund that continues to support students year after year.

The Foundation team will work with you to determine how best to honor your loved one’s legacy and ensure the fund’s impact reflects their life and values.
