In-Kind Requests

Broward College supports local nonprofit and community organizations through in-kind donations of meeting and event space across its campuses. Requests for in-kind space are evaluated based on how closely an organization's mission and proposed activities align with the College's strategic priorities. Please note: When an in-kind space request is approved, Broward College will waive the facility rental fee. However, the requesting organization is responsible for all direct event-related expenses required to support the event. These costs may include, but are not limited to, audiovisual/IT support, campus safety or law enforcement personnel, after-hours air conditioning, and custodial services. A cost estimate for any applicable support services will be provided to the organization in advance of the event. All applications must be received at least 30 days prior to the requested event date.

Interested parties that do not meet the eligibility criteria for In-Kind space, may still rent facilities on campus for use.

In-Kind Application

As part of a recent review of our Institutional Partnerships and In-Kind Facility Use policies, Broward College has updated the eligibility criteria for organizations receiving complimentary use of campus space. This initiative is designed to ensure that our support is intentional and is tied to the overall mission of transforming our students’ lives.  In short, all in-kind partnerships going forward will be viewed through the lens of how benefit Broward College students as we endeavor to be good stewards toward their needs and are fully accountable to the Florida taxpayers.

Moving forward, “in-kind” facility support is reserved for organizations whose missions directly align with the College's priorities tied directly to the benefits of our students. All requests that do not meet these standards will be directed to our standard “facility rental process.” Organizations seeking in-kind support or formal partnership with Broward College will be evaluated based on how their mission and initiatives align with one or more of the following priorities: 

  • Expanding access to higher education
  • Empowering student success and personal development
  • Creating meaningful career pathways, workforce development opportunities, and industry connections for Broward College students

These enhancements will provide a more strategic framework for evaluating partnership opportunities and requests for in-kind support.  It will ensure that all in-kind space requests are accounted for and properly documented.

Effective immediately, Broward College will now require that all in-kind requests be submitted at least 30 business days prior to the requested event date and approved by the Vice-President of Government & Community Affairs or the President & CEO.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out.
