I already give my time and talents to Keene State, isn't that enough?
The faculty and staff giving program does not suggest, in any way, that you don't already give enough to Keene State College through your daily service. Participation in the program is viewed as going above and beyond the work you already put in. It is an opportunity to make a financial investment in the place you have already invested in personally.

How can I make a gift?
There are several easy ways to make a gift, which include:

Payroll Deduction: By having a small amount deducted from your earnings each pay period, you can make a significant difference to the area of your choice. A gift of $2.50/pay period adds up to $65 a year; a gift of $5.00/pay period adds up to $130 a year; and so on. Please note, the payroll deduction option is not currently available to complementary staff and adjunct faculty members. Payroll Deduction Gift Form

Outright Gift: You can also make an outright gift via check (made payable to Keene State College) or credit card. We accept VISA or MasterCard. Outright Gift Form

Giving by Telephone: You can make a credit card gift by calling the office at 603-358-2375.

What areas can I support?
That decision is entirely up to you! Here are some suggestions:

Service Initiatives – Community Service
Academic Service Learning
Alumni Unrestricted Fund
Other Restricted Funds

Will I be recognized for my gift?
After your gift is received and processed, you will be sent a special letter of thanks and be recognized in the annual "Donor Honor Roll" published in Keene State Today magazine. If you wish your gift to be anonymous, please indicate this on your gift form or contact Melinda Mosier at 603-358-2378 or mmosier@keene.edu.

Is it possible to stop a payroll deduction gift after I have begun to have a specified amount deducted from my earnings each pay period?
Yes. If you wish to stop making a gift through payroll deduction, you will need to send a written notice to the Advancement Office specifying the deduction you would like terminated. For more information, you may us at 603-358-2375.

My spouse works for a matching gift company, can we use this opportunity to make our gift larger?
If you are a current employee, retired, or the spouse or widow(er) of an employee - or a member of the Board of Directors, you may be eligible to have your gift to Keene State College doubled or even tripled. Because each employer has different requirements, you will need to contact their human resources department for the company's specific matching gift form and information. Complete the matching gift form, provided by the company, and enclose it with your gift. If you have already made your gift, complete and mail the form to Office of Advancement, MS 2701.
