Ways to Give

There are many ways to give to Magdalen College. We encourage donors to consider the various ways in which they may participate and to give in those which best suit their financial circumstances.

Outright Gifts

Cash:

A direct gift provides tax savings for the donor and can be used by the College immediately. Please make checks payable to Magdalen College. Send donations to: Magdalen College, Office of Development, 511 Kearsarge Mountain Road, Warner, NH 03278.

Gifts of Security:

Gifts of appreciated stock and securities support Magdalen College while providing potential tax deductions and capital gains tax reductions for the donor. Please contact the College to learn more about transferring securities to Magdalen College.

Matching Gifts:

Many employers will match a charitable donation to a non–profit organization. A matching gift can double, even triple the value of your donation. Ask your employer if it has a matching grant program for its employees and/or retirees.

Personal Property:

Gifts of art, antiques, manuscripts, and other tangible property (non–cash) can be used to support the College for educational purposes.

Planned Giving

Bequests:

A simple form of planned giving is to remember Magdalen College in your will. The bequest can be specified as a fixed amount, a percentage of your estate, the residual, or as a specific item(s).

Retirement Plans and Life Insurance:

Donors can designate Magdalen College as a beneficiary in their retirement plans and life insurance policies.

Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Trusts:

Charitable gift annuities are an increasingly popular form of gift which allows an individual to retain income from lifetime assets given, while the principal goes to charity. This is a wonderful way for a donor to gain an annual income and generate a tax–deductible gift for Magdalen College.
