To establish a new annual fund (current use), a minimum commitment of $50,000 is required. To establish a new endowed fund, a minimum commitment of $100,000 is required.

These minimum thresholds reflect the administrative resources required to create and manage the College’s funds. The College also wants to ensure that endowed funds generate sufficient annual payout to meaningfully support their designated purpose.

In order to support the current needs of the College, 10% of each gift will be allocated to the Loyalty Fund (where funds are needed most). These funds will cover essential operational and administrative costs.

This allocation enables the College to effectively manage our philanthropic contributions and provide necessary support services.

The exception is that 10% of funds given to specific sports in the Athletics Department will be allocated to the Quaker Club. 

Many companies match employee gifts to encourage employees to make charitable contributions.

To find out if you work for a matching company, please email us at give@guilford.edu or call 336-316-2322.

Donated gifts of appreciated stocks and bonds are another way you can contribute. If the securities are held by your bank or broker, we recommend an electronic transfer via the Depository Trust Company (DTC) system.

To learn more or initiate a gift of securities, please email us at give@guilford.edu or call 336-316-2322.

Our faculty and staff give their time, energy, and heart in abundance.
