DONOR Recognition

At TCC, we value our friends and donors who invest in the future of the college and its students. As a way of formally honoring our most dedicated donors, we recognize them as members of one of our donor recognition societies.

President’s Council

Comprised of individuals or corporations giving at an annual level of $2500 or above, the President’s Council recognizes these donors for their valuable on-going partnership with TCC.

Godwin Legacy Society

The Godwin Legacy Society is named in honor of the late Governor Mills E. Godwin who was a Hampton Roads native and signed the legislation creating the Virginia Community College System in 1966. He is considered the father of Virginia community colleges.

The Society honors donors who have provided for the future of Tidewater Community College through bequests or planned gifts.

Beazley Society

The Beazley Society is named in honor of Fred W. Beazley whose gift of 750 acres of waterfront property in Suffolk and one million dollars, contributed to the beginnings of Tidewater Community College. It is comprised of donors who have provided transformational support in the form of gifts and personal commitment to the college.
