Ways to Give

Gifts via checks or credit/debit cards are the most valuable form of support for Manhattan University. Because these kinds of gifts make cash immediately available, they offer the University the flexibility to meet our most pressing needs.

Have a continuing impact by joining our monthly Cornerstone Guild giving program. Eliminate reminder notices by signing up for our automatic monthly giving program (electronic funds transfer). It's that easy!  With automatic giving, there is no check writing, no postage, and no possibility of lost checks.

By helping reduce administrative costs, more of your gift will support Manhattan University activities. Monthly giving also provides the University with a consistent cash flow, which helps in budgeting the University's valuable resources. Your gift may be pledged and spread over several months.

Donors may change their donation or cancel enrollment in the automatic monthly giving program at any time by contacting the Development office.

For more information on this program, or to enroll, call us at 718-862-7278 or email giving@manhattan.edu.

Gifts of stock, securities and mutual funds can benefit both you and Manhattan University. These gifts can help you diversify your assets and minimize capital gains taxes. Contrary to popular belief, gifts of closely held stock can create the same tax benefits as shares that are publicly traded.

Maintain the stock certificate(s) in your name. DO NOT change the name to Manhattan University prior to your broker's making the electronic transfer.

If you elect to transfer stock electronically, please note:

1. Your broker should contact the University's broker:

Ashley Nawrocki
Client Service Analyst | Nonprofit, Pensions & Insurance Solutions
(610)-503-5687
Ashley_Nawrocki@vanguard.com

2. The Manhattan University account number to receive electronic transfers is 85669816. The Vanguard DTC number is 0062.

3. Please confirm your gift in writing, including the name of stock or security, addressed to:

Stephen L. White
Assistant Vice President for University Advancement
4513 Manhattan College Pkwy.
Riverdale, NY 10471
Phone: 718-862-7548
Fax: 718-862-8021

For tax purposes, your gift will be valued as of the date when the transfer is received electronically into the University's account. The value of your gift will be the average of the high and low values on the day of receipt, multiplied by the number of shares donated. Gifts are tax deductible for federal income tax purposes to the extent permitted by law.
