Alumni and Friends
Outright gifts by alumni and friends are made through the Metro State Annual Fund and in this way, contributions can be put to work immediately—providing funding for current programs or creating a reliable source of future income by expanding the College’s endowment.
Cash gifts are easy to contribute, and can be made through credit/debit card, cash, personal or cashier’s checks, or money orders made payable to the Metropolitan State College of Denver Foundation, Inc. The easiest and most secure way to make a gift is online at Donate Now!
To mail your gift, please send it to:
Metropolitan State College of Denver
Office of Development
PO Box 17971
Denver, CO 80217-9812
Gifts of appreciated securities, stocks, and bonds: These provide you with considerable tax advantages when you transfer them to Metro State before they are sold. If you have held your securities for more than one year, your gift may provide a two-fold tax benefit by creating an income-tax deduction and helping you to avoid a capital-gains sales tax. The Foundation currently has an account with UMB Scout Brokerage Services. To transfer stocks directly from a broker’s account, please contact Jeanne Olson at: 303-556-8424.
If a gift account does not exist that meets the original designation of the donor, the donor's gift will be placed in an account that most closely approximates the donor’s intent, if no such account exists then the donor's gift will be placed in either the General Scholarship Fund if the gift was originally intended for student scholarship or the Foundation Unrestricted account.
