IC Alumna Tammy Brainin Expresses Her Love of the College Through a Scholarship and Gift Annuity

Tammy Brainin ‘74 (pictured here with husband Steven Gonzalez) received her degree in television-radio and went on to work in the profession for more than 30 years. As a way to express her love of the college, she created a scholarship to help deserving communications students who are attending IC. And she’s a regular supporter of the IC Annual Fund for Communications.

But she wanted to take her philanthropy one step further. She did that with a charitable gift annuity. “The CGA is an interesting way to get a little money back and contribute to my college,” Tammy says. “This is another way I can establish connectivity to the school and participate in giving.”

Tammy’s IC experience shaped her life, and she’s crafted her philanthropy around helping today’s students have the same great experience she did.
