At Marlboro, we
remain true to our mission of teaching students to think clearly and to
learn independently through engagement in a structured program of
liberal studies. Gifts to the Marlboro College Annual Fund,
which include unrestricted gifts to the Alumni Fund and Parents
Fund, contribute immediately to the College's operating budget and
directly support students and faculty in their intellectual
collaboration. We are counting on your unrestricted support this year
to reach our goal of $1,100,000 by June 30, 2008.

Making a gift There are many ways to make a gift to Marlboro College. While the simplest method is an outright gift of cash or marketable securities, a deferred gift may allow you to make a significantly larger gift to the college and generate lifetime payments to you or another beneficiary, as well. There are many types of assets-mutual funds, stock, retirement plans, real estate, art-that can form the basis of a deferred or outright gift. The type and method of giving those assets determine the actual tax and financial benefits.
Included on these pages are just some of the ways to make a gift to Marlboro, and donors often use one or a combination of gift vehicles to fulfill their philanthropic objectives. If you are interested in learning more about a particular type of gift, please contact a member of the Development staff listed here. We will work closely and confidentially with you (and your advisors, if you wish) to ensure that your gift to Marlboro achieves your personal goals and expresses your philanthropic vision for Marlboro College.
Honoring a Loved One
To memorialize a loved one, you can establish a named endowed fund to create a scholarship, prize or faculty chair, or to preserve or restore a room or building. The basic plan underlying a named endowed fund is simple. The principal of the fund is never spent. It is invested, either by Marlboro or a trustee chosen by the donor, and the earnings are used to fulfill the purpose or purposes for which the fund was created. Donors may use either outright or deferred gifts to establish named endowed funds. Marlboro works with each donor, on an individual basis, to prepare guidelines for the administration of each named endowed fund.
Endowed or not, any gift to any fund may be designated in honor or in memory of a member of the Marlboro College community, or of another person of your choosing.
