Gifts in Honor or Memorial

Thank you for considering a memorial gift to Great Basin College Foundation. We greatly appreciate your support. Donors typically make gifts in memory of a deceased family member, friend or co-worker and it is a wonderful way to honor your loved one and make a gift benefitting Great Basin College students and programs at the same time.
