Appreciated marketable securities offer an attractive and convenient way to give to Marymount Manhattan College.

Gifts-in-Kind
Marymount Manhattan College accepts gifts-in-kind that are appropriate to its mission. Gifts-in-kind may include, but are not limited to, works of art, scientific or technological equipment, books, and real estate.

Memorial or Honorary Gifts
Marymount Manhattan welcomes gifts made in memory of or in honor of alumni, faculty or other individuals of special importance to our donors. Such gifts can be made to the Annual Appeal for MMC for general support of the College's educational mission, or donors may direct their support to more specific purposes. To make a memorial or honorary gift, follow any of the procedures described above, making sure to identify the individual you intend to honor or memorialize. Upon receipt of such a gift, the Office of Institutional Advancement will mail a receipt to the donor and notify the honoree, or, in the case of a memorial gift, a designated individual or family member.

Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a combination of a gift and an investment. In exchange for a gift of cash or marketable securities, Marymount Manhattan promises to pay a fixed annual amount for life to you and/or a loved one. The annuity rates are based on the age of the beneficiary. Each gift annuity is established separately and requires a donation of $10,000 or more.
