Memorial or Tribute Gift
When you give a memorial or tribute gift for Grove City College to honor someone special, you’re expressing your love, admiration, and gratitude in one of the most meaningful ways there is. Your gift will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute, and assist students who may not otherwise be able to afford the Grove City College experience. Learn more about this type of gift.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
You can use stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have appreciated in value to support our shared vision. You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock.
Matching Gift Opportunities
Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf of our purpose-driven students? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. Donate a pool of funds to Grove City College, from which we will match any donation made within a given period of time. Also, many companies match gifts. Check to see if your company will match your donation here. In this way, you can double the impact of your giving.
