Cash Donations, Gifts of Securities and Matching Gifts Program

The majority of the gifts to the College come in the form of cash donations. Such gifts may entitle the donor to a federal income tax deduction. It may also be advantageous to make gifts of appreciated securities to the College, enabling the donor to avoid a capital gains tax while still securing a full charitable deduction for the value of the security.

Many companies will match donations made by their employees. Please check with your company to learn if this benefit to the College is available.

Endowment Funds

The College maintains a number of endowment funds, which provide ongoing support for many programs. We are grateful to those donors who have demonstrated their foresight and generosity in establishing these funds.

Planned Giving

Remember the College with a planned gift. A planned or deferred gift is part of the donor's estate plan. You can become a member of the College's Legacy Society if you, include the College in your will and/or retirement plan, name the College a beneficiary of a lead trust or charitable remainder trust, establish a charitable gift annuity with the College.

Such planned estate gifts may reduce the donor's income or estate taxes while making a significant contribution to the College.

Tribute and Memorial Gifts

The College encourages you to remember or honor a friend or loved one on a special occasion by contributing to our Annual Fund or any of our endowment or special purpose funds. We will send a card to the honoree, acknowledging this gift to the College. In the case of a gift in memory, we will send a notification to the family that this meaningful gift has been made. We are grateful for any size contribution. Please consider a gift of "Chai" by donating $18, $36, $54, $72 or $108. Your gift will help the College grow while recognizing a friend or family member.
