Are You Interested in Supporting the Program?

To learn more about the program, volunteer your time, and/or visit our teachers at their schools, please contact program assistant director, Shelly Chin (Tel: 212-678-4080).  For more information on about any of the following giving vehicles, contact Michael Sclafani, Director of Annual Giving at (212) 678-8176.  The following information is adapted from the "Support TC" website at Teachers College.  Please note that Teachers College's fiscal year runs September 1 through August 31.

Most Common Ways to Make a Gift: 

1. Cash:  To make a cash gift, send your personal check to:

Teachers College
525 West 120 th Street, Box 306
New York , NY 10027

A gift of cash is recorded for tax purposes on the date it is hand-delivered or post-marked. Please note on the memo line of your check that your gift is for the "Peace Corps Fellows Program."

 

2. Credit Cards: Many donors earn valuable rewards for credit card activity, and Teachers College gladly accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.  To make a credit card gift, use our online giving form or call the Office of Development at 212-678-8176 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (eastern). Be prepared to provide your account number and expiration date.

3. Appreciated stocks or securities: Securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds make a wonderful gift and the tax savings to the donor can be significant. Making a gift of long-term (held over 12 months) appreciated securities or mutual funds to Teachers College may help you to avoid capital gains tax. In addition, the gift gives the donor who itemizes deductions an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities (subject to certain limitations) .

To make a gift of securities, please call Katherine Hutter, Director of Advancement Services at 212.678.4031 or email her at hutter@tc.edu.

4. Gifts "in memory of" or "in honor of":
You can make a gift in memory or in honor of a friend or loved one.  Teachers College will inform the individual or their family about your gift and how it will benefit the Peace Corps Fellows Program community.

5. Matching Gifts:
If you or your spouse work for a company that makes corporate matching gifts, your contribution to TC can be doubled or even tripled. Contact your human resources office to find out if they take part in a matching gift program.
