Giving

Cutting-edge research and education programs require costly facilities, technology, and equipment, competitive salaries for faculty, and scholarships to attract the best students. As state funding declines—and as public and private grant awards become increasingly more competitive—VIMS must build a substantial base of private support to guarantee its place among the world's leading marine science centers.

Ways to Give

Private giving may take many forms, including:

• Annual Fund giving
• Securities
• Deferred gifts, such as a will provision
• Gifts of property
• Endowment giving
• Project support

Matching Gift Programs

Also, when considering a gift please remember that more than 1,000 corporations and businesses match their employee's charitable donations to colleges and universities. Many companies also match gifts for spouses and retirees.
