Ways to Give
There are a number of ways that you can give to Mount Olive College and assist with its life-transforming mission. Please consider the following options, which maximize your benefit as a financial supporter of the College, and will have an immediate impact upon the students of the College.
Online Giving
Gifts by credit and debit cards accepted online through a secure server. Donors are able to designate their gift to the area or areas of their choosing and give an immediate gift to the College.

Electronic Transfer
Monthly electronic transfer gifts from a checking or savings accounts are also accepted by Mount Olive College. Many find this convenient option a way to support the College with smaller gifts that demonstrate strong support over time. Recurring gifts of this nature can be easily stopped at the time of the donor’s choosing. For information about electronic transfer gifts contact Nancy Westfall at 919-658-7823 or nwestfall@moc.edu .
Matching Gifts
It is possible to double or even triple your gift, or your spouse’s gift, to Mount Olive College if you or your spouse’s employer participates in gift matching. There are thousands of companies nationwide that will match an employee’s charitable contribution. Occasionally companies will even match gifts made by retired employees.
Contact your employer, or your spouse’s employer for more information and to obtain a Matching Gift Form and instructions. If you have questions about Matching Gifts contact Nancy Westfall at 919-658-7823 or nwestfall@moc.edu .
Donating Stocks, Bonds or Mutual Funds
Direct gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds to Mount Olive College might result in significant tax benefits. With long-term appreciated securities (those held longer than 12 months), you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your gift. You will also avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation of your securities. Any unused deduction may be carried forward for up to five tax years if necessary.
If you would like to make a gift of appreciated securities, please call Nancy Westfall at 919-658-7831 or contact her via nwestfall@moc.edu .
Gifts of Personal Property
Certain gifts of personal property including real estate, books, antiques and works of art may be accepted as gifts-in-kind if deemed to fit within the College's gifting guidelines. Gifts of property may help you avoid paying capital gains tax, lower your current income tax and reduce future federal estate taxes.
For further information, contact Jeff Daughtry in The Office of Planned Giving at 919-658-7831.
Gifts of Life Insurance
There are three ways to make a life insurance gift to Mount Olive College: 1. designating Mount Olive College as the owner and beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy, 2. buying a new policy and designating Mount Olive College as the owner and beneficiary, and 3. adding Mount Olive College as a charitable beneficiary to an existing policy.

Life Income or Estate Gifts
Planned gifts, also known as life income and estate gifts, allow donors to provide for themselves and their families, leave a legacy for the future and help strengthen quality education at Mount Olive College by building the endowment. Life income gifts allow donors to receive an income during their lifetime while also benefiting Mount Olive College. Donors may also place Mount Olive College in their estates and receive tax savings.
Unlike cash gifts or gifts of real estate or tangible property, planned gifts are donations that are meant to be paid at a future date.
