Online Giving

We’re pleased to offer this quick and easy option. Visit our online giving page to use our secure server to make your gift via Discover, MasterCard, VISA or eCheck.

Cash

Gifts of cash are still the simplest and most direct way to support Plymouth State. Checks can be made payable to Plymouth State University with instructions for how your gift is to be used.

By Phone

Just call 1-800-772-2620 and ask for Diane Tiffany, PSU Gifts Processor. You may use your MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover over the phone during regular business hours. It is a policy of the Development Office to destroy all credit card information after use.

Gifts of Appreciated Assets

Making a gift of appreciated securities, real estate or other tangible property is an attractive option for some. In most cases, contributions of appreciated property bring the same deductibility as cash gifts, while eliminating capital gains taxes. Gifts which may impose risks are subject to approval by the Gift Acceptance Committee of Plymouth State. Call 1-800-772-2620 and ask for Kit Otto for assistance with making a stock gift and for transfer instructions for stock gifts (please give these instructions to your financial advisor).

Planned Giving

Another attractive option for alumni and friends to consider is a planned or deferred gift that allows one to make a major commitment to Plymouth State without sacrificing income needed today. Many alumni have remembered Plymouth State with bequests in their wills or have made Plymouth State the beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust, life insurance policy or gift annuity. Director of Development Angela Matthews will assist donors in assessing the planned giving options available to them through PSU.
