Ways of Giving
There are a variety of ways to give to Evergreen.
Whichever you choose, you are opening opportunities for students to pursue higher education and excel in their studies. Thank you for supporting The Evergreen State College.
Cash/Check
A check is a simple way to make a gift. Checks should be made out and mailed to The Evergreen State College Foundation, 2700 Evergreen Pkwy NW, Olympia, WA 98505.
Credit Card
MasterCard and VISA may be used to initiate a one-time gift or an automatic monthly, quarterly, or annual gift. You may make a secure credit card gift online, or call toll-free 800-781-7861 and speak with a staff member.
Electronic Fund Transfer
A quick, convenient way to support Evergreen is to move gifts from your bank account to Evergreen electronically. EFTs may also be a one-time gift or an automatic monthly, quarterly, or annual gift. Electronic Funds Transfer Form (PDF)
Payroll Deduction
Faculty and staff of The Evergreen State College may have their gift automatically deducted from each paycheck.
Stock
Gifts of stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, and other appreciated assets have two benefits - a charitable income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities. Information for Giving Securities
Property
The Foundation may be able to accept gifts of real estate and certain personal property, like works of art, books, equipment, and computer hardware and software.
Wills and Bequests
Proper estate planning through a will or living trust may save your estate substantial taxes and ensure that the people and organizations you care about are provided for after you're gone. A bequest provides flexibility in exercising your wishes after your death, and entitles you to an estate tax deduction.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match their employees's charitable contributions - often dollar for dollar or more! If you work for a matching gift employer and send us a matching gift form, the monetary value of your gift will be significantly increased.
