1.   Granite State College Policy Statement for Institutional Charitable Giving

Granite State College supports charitable outreach and service within our communities. All requests for institutional support from legal charities, whether solicited or unsolicited, must be approved by the President’s Cabinet. A legal charity is one that is incorporated, has obtained 501(c)(3) status, and is registered with the NH Attorney General's office. Institutional support may include non-financial contributions or participation from staff, faculty, alumni, and students who are members of the GSC community. While the college may choose to be an active participant in a charitable event, individual giving and staff time as a charitable service must remain voluntary for staff, faculty, alumni and students.
