Types of Gifts

Major Gifts

Major Gifts enable Alma to grow and make substantial changes in a relatively short period of time, speeding the College’s progress toward its medium- and long-range goals.

ALMA FUND

The ALMA FUND assists in various ways on campus but is predominantly for student scholarship aid, helping us to attract the best and brightest students. It also allows us to direct gifts where they are needed most on campus.

Planned Gifts

Planned and Life Income Gifts are tools for making significant gifts to Alma College in ways that can be extremely tax advantageous for donors.

Gifts of Yourself

Giving in a personal way also is beneficial to the College.

“You’re a person, not a number, at Alma,” he says. “I enjoyed being in an atmosphere where you can really get to know people, including the professors.”
