There are many ways to support Reaching the World: A Campaign for Colby. The College encourages donors to consider the various ways they might participate in the campaign and to give in ways that are best suited to their charitable goals and financial circumstances.

Pledges allow donors to make generous contributions over a period of several years, and they may provide donors with significant tax advantages. Donors may schedule payments in ways that meet their needs, provided all payments are made within a five-year period.

Building an endowment to secure the future of an institution requires vision. It requires the capacity to dream. Reaching the World: A Campaign for Colby will help the College retain its leadership in American higher education. It will ensure that promising students continue to have access to Colby regardless of their ability to pay, that the College can attract and retain the finest faculty, and that Colby can sustain and expand its tradition of curricular innovation.

In the pages that follow, you will meet a number of alumni and others who have their own dreams for Colby and who have taken advantage of the benefits available through a well-planned gift to make those dreams come true.

A planned gift helps you and your loved ones and reaches into the future to touch the lives of generations of students to come. If you would like to talk about your ideas for helping Colby and its students “Reach the World,” we would be happy to work with you.
