Supporting Medaille CollegeA gift to Medaille College can make an enormous difference for the students and faculty who are at the heart of the mission of the College—teaching and learning. A gift to Medaille provides much needed operating support on an annual basis, allowing us to keep tuition affordable and offer significant institutionally-funded financial aid.
Alumni, parents and friends of the College have chosen to support Medaille's mission with project-specific and endowment gifts. Either way, your gift to Medaille can transform the lives of today’s students. If you would like additional information about supporting Medaille, please contact our College Relations Office at (716) 880-2207.

Please contact the College Relations Office at (716) 880-2207 for more information.
•Charitable Gift Annuities and Other Life Income Gifts
Charitable gift annuities pay you income for life at very favorable rates of return while giving you an immediate tax deduction and the satisfaction of knowing you will have supported Medaille College. An annuity is established with Medaille and money or property is transferred to fund it. In exchange, Medaille agrees to pay you an annual set percentage, based on age, for the rest of your life. For many people this can be a great way to earn significantly more income on low-yield assets, giving you more spending money. Please contact the College Relations Office at (716) 880-2475 for more information.
•Gifts of Real Estate and Other Tangible Property
A gift can be made by transferring ownership of your summer home, condo in Florida, art work or any other real property to Medaille. With gifts of real estate you can even reserve the right to stay in the property for the rest of your life while, in many cases, bringing immediate tax benefits. For more information on making a gift of real estate please contact the College Relations Office at (716) 880-2475 for more information.
•Planned Giving: Bequests and Other Estate Gifts

This can be done by including Medaille in your will or by making Medaille beneficiary of your deferred retirement accounts, life insurance or charitable trusts. Many people find this the best way for them to make a transformative gift to an institution.
