Gift Planning

Welcome to Colgate University's planned-giving Web site.

We have carefully filled these pages with information on making Colgate a part of your long-term financial plans. But we know the limits of technology.

When you decide to show your Passion for the Climb and invite Colgate into your family—when you want to help ensure that bright minds have access to the life-altering educational experiences you enjoyed—a human connection is imperative. Our staff, with a combined 44 years experience in gift planning, is proud to serve as that connection.

Planned gifts will play a major role in the success of the University's $400 million capital campaign; many of your classmates have already entrusted us with the responsibility of translating their love for Colgate into far-reaching support for their alma mater’s future. We look forward to meeting your needs, too.

So browse and learn. And do not hesitate to contact us by phone, e-mail, or in person with any questions or comments.

With sincere thanks,

Andrew M. Coddington
Director of Planned Giving
