Ways To Give

Recurring Gifts
Increase your impact by setting up a recurring gift, which allows you to divide your gift to the College into increments through convenient automatic deductions from your credit card according to a schedule of your choosing.
COMPANY MATCHING GIFTS
Does your employer or your spouse’s employer match your gift? You can often double or triple the impact of your gift through your company’s matching gift program.
