Support the Mount
The University of Mount Saint Vincent has a longstanding tradition of providing exceptional educational opportunities to determined and talented students, regardless of their financial means. The University is able to maintain this noble commitment due to the remarkable generosity of its alumnae/i and friends.
Gifts to the University transform the lives of its students. Students who otherwise would be unable to pursue higher education benefit from philanthropically supported scholarships. Gifts from alumnae/i and friends also ensure the vitality of academic programs, support co-curricular and enrichment opportunities and preserve the quality of our facilities.
The value of a gift to the University is evident across the campus, and wherever our students and graduates work to improve their lives and strengthen our communities.
Ways of Giving
By giving online, your contribution makes the maximum impact on our students and programs. You may support many areas of the University online.
You may pledge a gift to the University to be fulfilled by the end of the fiscal year (June 30) by contacting the Office of Alumnae/i Relations and Giving at 718.405.3336 or at alumnioffice@umsv.edu. You may fulfill your pledge using a check (made out to the University of Mount Saint Vincent), cash, or using a credit card.
Many corporations provide matching funds for contributions to eligible nonprofits, which is a great way to double or even triple your Annual Fund gift. Check with your Human Resources office to see if your company sponsors a matching gift program.
