How to Make Your Gift

Thank you for deciding to support the Columbia College Fund!

There are several convenient methods for making a gift:

By Credit Card

A credit card gift to Columbia is not only convenient, but it also entitles you to the same income-tax deduction as a gift of cash.

To make your credit card gift, use our secure online gift form or call us toll-free at 1-866-CCALUMNI (1-866-222-5866).

By Check

Please make your check payable to Columbia College Fund and mail it to:

Columbia College Fund
622 West 113th Street, MC 4530
New York, NY 10025

By Wire Transfer

Columbia also accepts cash gifts by wire transfer. For more information, please visit Giving to Columbia.

Gifts of Securities

Gifts of appreciated stocks and bonds are popular among Columbia alumni and friends. If you are considering a donation of $1,000 or more, there are many tax advantages to giving securities.

For more information on these advantages, and complete instructions on how to make your gift, please visit Giving to Columbia.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts give back, allowing you to take sizeable income, capital gains, and estate deductions on your taxes. They can provide income for you and your family for life.

Planned gifts can also be much larger than other gifts, so you are able to leave a legacy that fits your philanthropic goals.

Giving to Columbia will provide you with complete information on Columbia's planned giving options.
