All NEC athletics programs foster character and leadership development; are guided by the values of pride, integrity, and respect; and promote high academic achievement, diversity, gender equity, unparalleled sportsmanship, and fair play.

NEC Parents Fund

Parents like you help NEC realize its mission. Giving to the NEC Parents Fund enables you to make a lasting impact on the school that you and your student love.

Gifts to the Parents Fund are spent in the year they are received as part of NEC’s annual fundraising. The purpose of these contributions is to support the college above and beyond tuition dollars. Your gift to the Parents Fund supports Study Away trips, career and academic success services, on-campus events, and the other vital NEC programs that help our students achieve their goals.

The support of parents truly makes a difference—every gift, every year.

Planned Giving

The H. Raymond Danforth Society was established in 1999 to acknowledge and recognize those individuals who have provided for NEC through planned giving. H. Raymond Danforth was the fourth president of NEC (1958–1969). He was steadfast in his determination to gather together the students, faculty, friends, and financial resources that would sustain his vision for NEC as an “international, innovative, student-oriented institution,” competitive with the finest private colleges in the Northeast. That was no small dream, but it is one shared by many alumni/ae and friends of NEC who have ensured our future through a bequest or other planned gift. The College expresses its sincere gratitude for the foresight and generosity of alumni and friends who have joined The H. Raymond Danforth Society by informing the College of their arrangements to include NEC in their estate plans.

Common methods of planned giving include:

• A gift through a will or living trust
• Charitable remainder trust
• Charitable lead trust
• Retirement account beneficiary
• Life insurance beneficiary

For more information about planned gifts at NEC, please contact Alex Turek, Director of Development, at 603.428.2397 or aturek@nec.edu.
