Gifts from a Donor Advised Fund

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a named charitable giving account you can set up under a public charity, most often a sponsoring financial or community institution. To set up a DAF, you make an irrevocable gift of cash or other assets to the financial or community institution, receive a tax deduction, and as a “donor-advisor” may make non-binding grant recommendations to benefit the charities you care about like Albright College.

If you would like to establish recurring grants to Albright from your donor advised fund, please contact your sponsoring organization.

To make it as seamless as possible for you to distribute a grant once or on a recurring basis (monthly, quarterly, etc.) from your donor advised fund to Albright, we have created sample language below that may find useful to communicate with your sponsoring organization:

“I/We intend to recommend a grant from the (name of donor-advised fund), a donor-advised fund, in the amount of $_________ (during the year 20__ /annually for the years 20__- 20__) to Albright College. Grant recommendations are subject to the approval of (name of public charity sponsoring the donor-advised fund). This expression of intent does not create a legally enforceable obligation.

The Fund for Albright

Through the sustained generosity of those who believe in Albright’s mission, year in and year out, The Fund for Albright provides the College with vital resources to create our dynamic and collaborative learning environment, promote innovative programming, and provide much-needed financial aid for our students.

Albright Challenge – There are many ways to be involved in this Albright tradition.  Matching gift donors are a key part of this event as they provide gifts to the college that we can publicize and use in marketing and help to encourage other donors.  In the past, these matching gifts have been rolled out for a donor count (250 donors for $20,000 released in the challenge), or as matching gifts based on class/sport/membership ($1 match donated for every $1 from a Class of 1960 member).  If you would like to discuss making a matching gift, please call 610-929-6750 to learn more.  We are also seeking a new record of alumni to be involved as social media ambassadors to help us share the messaging about the Challenge through email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other channels. Social media ambassadors are critical to spreading the message for the campaign and sharing our Lion Pride.

Supporting Essential Resources – Annual Fund gifts help to fund essentials like academic programs, financial aid, equipment, software and library resources.  They help keep the campus secure and clean, keep lights bright in classrooms and labs, and equip varsity sports teams.

Classroom Innovation and Technology – Many of our campus classrooms are designed in the old lecture-style model.  These funds would allow teachers more flexibility with active learning environments and provide enhanced ergonomics for the students with new furniture, replacement of carpet, paint, window treatments and lighting.

Scholarships and Financial Aid – Albright has a longstanding commitment to educating students of academic promise.  These funds will enable us to make an Albright education a reality for those students who face financial hurdles or who would most benefit from our programs.

Academic Excellence and Innovation for Faculty Development – These funds support travel and resources for faculty to learn new teaching styles, develop new courses, engage students in scholarly and creative work and more.

Support The Fund for Albright today. Your gift brings us ever closer to fulfilling our commitment of educating students of academic promise.

For more information about this initiative or how to give, please contact the Office of Advancement at giving@albright.edu or call 610-929-6750.

Matching Gifts

Matching gifts increase the impact of your philanthropy! Please call the Office of Advancement at 610-929-6750 or email  giving@albright.edu for matching gift information and to register your employer as a matching gift company.

The Advancing Lives Scholarship Initiative seeks support to educate students of academic promise. We believe that the life-changing benefits of an Albright education must be equally available to talented, determined students across the broadest range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Discover how Albright is taking important steps to make education equally available and affordable.

Currently, Albright offers significant financial aid to first-year students, but little need-based institutional aid to cover year-to-year tuition increases for sophomore, junior and senior students. And as tuition rises, need-based federal grant aid usually does not change for these students, often creating unanticipated bills. There are two ways you can help make an Albright education equally available to our students of academic promise:

Advancing Lives Immediate Impact Fund – Gifts to this fund are used the year they are donated to make college more affordable and aid in retention efforts of our upperclassmen.

Advancing Lives Endowed Fund – Gifts to this fund will build our endowment to assist upperclassmen now, and in the future, as they persist and graduate from Albright.

For more information on how you can contribute to either fund, or to name your own fund please call the office of Advancement at 610-929-6750 or send an email to giving@albright.edu.

 

The Fund for Albright is the heartbeat of Albright College. In addition to providing the necessary funds to support essential resources, classroom innovation and technology, scholarships and financial aid, academic excellence, and faculty development, The Fund for Albright offers specific opportunities for donors to make a difference through a number of funds:

Albright Fund for the Center for the Arts – Activities in the CFA foster on-going dialogue about the arts relevant to the intellectual, cultural, and personal lives of our students. Your gift will support the operations of our unique interdisciplinary environment of classrooms, studios, galleries, and performing spaces.

Albright Fund for Equity and Full Participation – Contributions to this fund will promote a mutual thriving of all groups across the campus and assist in eliminating disparities of opportunity, resources, and outcomes for historically underrepresented populations in ways that are consistent with Albright’s commitment to full participation.

Albright Fund for the Student Success Commons and Library – This fund supports a variety of collections, services, and research support housed within the library which provide the foundation for research and study for all disciplines taught at the College. Contributions to the library foster academic excellence and intellectual discovery within our liberal arts community.

Albright Fund for Scholarships & Financial Aid – High achieving students with demonstrated leadership and commitment to service add to the Albright community in significant ways. To reward those students for their good work, Albright offers a variety of scholarships and awards. Your contribution to this fund will augment our students’ financial support from Albright to ensure every student can afford an Albright education.

Lion Pride Athletic Fund – Approximately one-third of undergraduates participate in Albright’s 22 intercollegiate athletics programs, where the overall quality of the educational experience and the successful completion of all students’ academic programs are priorities. The Lion Pride Athletic Fund supports Albright College athletics and our student-athletes by providing resources to enhance the athletic facilities, purchase specialized equipment for teams, provide educational programming for student-athletes, and fund special travel for individual teams.

Lifting up Lions– This is an emergency fund for students who face financial hardship that threatens their academic progress during their time at Albright. The college is finding that substantially more students need these emergency funds. Contributions to this fund will provide a one-time grant to students in immediate need to help fund emergency travel expenses, unexpected costs for essential academic supplies or personal items, and for shelter and food.

A 21st century college education demands a 21st century library that immerses learning in collaboration, mixes traditional materials with new media, and supplements student initiative with expert support. The current Library has served students, faculty, and community members since 1964. Learn about our vision for the future of Gingrich Library, which will give Albright an inviting and comfortable learning environment designed to bring together students, faculty, skilled professionals, information resources, high-end technology resources and student support services.

 

Albright College is fortunate to receive gifts from a large list of generous donors. The gifts made by these donors allow the College to provide wonderful opportunities for our students.
