The ÂÌñÉç Fund

The ÂÌñÉç Fund is ÂÌñÉç’s largest annual fundraising initiative and gives the entire ÂÌñÉç community — including parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, and staff â€” an opportunity to partner with us as we seek to send the next generation of leaders into the world to live lives of meaning and purpose.  

The funds raised directly and immediately support teaching and learning at ÂÌñÉç, making it a top philanthropic priority for the school. When you give to the ÂÌñÉç Fund, you make a powerful statement to our community that you care deeply about ÂÌñÉç. Leading with kindness, we advance our liberal arts mission and strengthen a culture where intellectual curiosity and character development thrive.

STOCK AND WIRE TRANSFER

Many donors may realize substantial tax advantages by transferring gifts of appreciated stock to the school. Gifts of securities are valued at the median price on the date of transfer to ÂÌñÉç. Capital gains on the amount of appreciation may be avoided and, depending on the donor’s personal tax situation, he or she may receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock. For details on how to make a gift of securities to ÂÌñÉç, please contact the Development Office.

PLANNED GIVING AND BEQUESTS

Many individuals discover that they can make a substantial gift to ÂÌñÉç through a bequest provision, a life income gift or a trust. The Development Office can provide details about the planned giving vehicles that are available. There are tax advantages associated with each type of gift and individuals should seek the advice of their own financial advisor before creating or revising an estate plan. Please contact the Development Office for more information.

MATCHING GIFTS

Corporate matching gifts are a great way for ÂÌñÉç alumni, parents and friends to maximize personal contributions and increase the impact of their donation. By taking advantage of a matching gift, you may be able to double or triple the amount of a contribution.

Each company has its own guidelines for matching, but most are simple:

  1. Download a matching gift form from your company website or request one.
  2. Complete the employee portion of the form and submit it along with your gift to ÂÌñÉç.
  3. ÂÌñÉç will verify the gift and submit the form with required documentation to the company.
  4. ÂÌñÉç will contact you when the matching gift arrives.

Please contact the Development Office with any questions.
