Making a gift in your long-term plans to Middlebury is a perfect way for anyone who loves the college —alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends—to create a lasting legacy and further embolden Middlebury’s future.

These gifts can come in many forms, such as bequests in a will, real estate, charitable lead trusts, life income gifts and beneficiary designations.

Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or benefit us after your lifetime, you can find a charitable plan that lets you provide for your family and support Middlebury. We can help you explore options.

When you reach out to Middlebury’s Gift Planning Office there is never any obligation or pressure to make a gift. We are creative, knowledgeable problem solvers who are happy to be a resource for the Middlebury community.

NEW for 2024: Higher ACGA rates could mean more income for you.

There are many planned gifts that won’t affect your existing financial resources, but will have a significant impact on Middlebury. Give to the institution you care so much about, while maintaining control and flexibility.

Gifts that provide income

A bequest is a gift provision in your will or revocable living trust. All assets, including cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property, may be transferred to Middlebury at the end of your life.

Make a gift from your will

Your IRA can provide a tax-smart way to make an impact with Middlebury now. The Qualified Charitable Distribution or QCD is a great way to make a tax-free gift now and satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution, too.
