There are many ways to make a charitable contribution to Rivier College. Gifts and pledges may be tailored to achieve your charitable objective and provide you with tax benefits.

Cash Gifts or Pledges
Cash contributions allow you to deduct the amount of your gift for income tax purposes. Multi-year pledges allow many donors to increase the size of their gifts, with payments extended over several years.

Gifts of Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities are deductible at fair market value on the day they are transferred to the College. Appreciated securities may be used as outright gifts or to fund planned gifts.

Deferred or Planned Gifts
These gifts can provide a reliable stream of income for yourself and your loved ones. In addition, you can avoid or reduce capital gain taxes on long-term appreciated assets, such as securities and real estate. Many different assets can be used to fund a planned gift including real estate, closely held stock, and life insurance.

Life Insurance
Gifts of life insurance can be made to the College. You may also purchase an insurance policy with Rivier College as the owner and sole beneficiary. All premiums you pay are tax deductible.

Bequests
You may leave cash, real estate, securities, or other personal property in your will to Rivier College and the value is deductible from your estate. The Rivier College Bequest Society recognizes those who include the College in their estate plans.

Gifts-in-Kind
Donations of goods and services enhance the College and enrich the student experience.
