Ways of Giving

With 77 percent of Bryn Mawr students in the 2020-21 academic year demonstrating need for financial aid, increasing scholarship aid is critical for the College.

We invite you to explore our gift planning website and contact us directly to learn more about ways in which bequests and other forms of planned giving can contribute to Bryn Mawr College's future.

You can give cash or credit card gifts by mail, by phone, online, or by wire transfer.

Many corporations match gifts to charitable institutions made by employees, their spouses, and retired employees. In some cases, a matching gift can double or even triple your total contribution to Bryn Mawr.

With a gift of securities, the donor avoids capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities and may take a charitable deduction on her federal income taxes for the full market value of the security as of the date of transfer to the College. 

The donor-advised fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier.

If you live outside the United States and are considering a gift to Bryn Mawr, you can, in most cases, give online at www.brynmawr.edu/makeagift using your credit card or you can work with one of our established partner organizations. 

The Bryn Mawr College Libraries welcome gifts of books that meet the scope of its collecting activities, items of interest to faculty for their teaching or research and to students for their courses of study.
