Giving to Sterling
Make an Impact on Our Work & Your World
There is such a thing as “the Sterling Experience.” Students leave the College with a science-based sense of environmental stewardship. They know what hard work is, and they bring that knowledge to future employers. Further, they’ve learned about the value of community and how to cherish it. These traits—sorely needed today—are increasingly rare in our world, but Sterling College fosters them. Each student takes the Sterling Experience forward, applying it to their work. We know this because they tell us how instrumental and formative Sterling College has been.

Support Sterling College and Our Mission
Join us! Almost anyone can be a philanthropist, and each donor is special to Sterling College. Gifts both large and small go to work for our students and our mission. The following are the many ways you can support Sterling:
- Cash: Send your check, payable to Sterling College, to Development Office Sterling College Craftsbury Common, VT 05827. Or you can make larger gifts over time through regular transactions to your credit card, which we can process with your permission.
- Pledge: Make a commitment to give larger amounts over time.
- Planned Gifts: Bequests, life insurance, charitable remainder funds and other such gifts are relatively easy to arrange and very thoughtful. Contact your financial advisor or Sterling’s Development Office for more information.
- Securities: Gifts of appreciated or depreciated stock usually offer tax benefits to the donor and are beneficial to the College as well.
- Gifts in memory or celebration of a loved one are always suitable.
- Restricted gifts are those which the donor signifies in advance to support a specific aspect of need.
- Unrestricted gifts are most useful, and are used in areas of current greatest need as deemed by the College.
- Endowed scholarships ($50,000 or more) can be honored with a naming opportunity.
- Named prizes or honorariums ($10,000 or more) can be similarly honored.
- Tangible property, real estate, and gifts-in-kind: Items such as art objects of museum quality or for classroom use may be deductible. Services and assistance provided free of charge may qualify for a tax-deductible receipt. Outright gifts of real estate require a bit more planning. Contact the Development Office for more information on these gifts.
- Matching funds: Many employers will match your contribution and that increases your impact. Contact your employer’s human resources office to see if your donation qualifies. Or, contact the Sterling College Development Office.
- And as always—your referral of prospective students is appreciated.
Thank you for your support of Sterling College, our students, and our mission.
