Recurring monthly donations make an even bigger impact on our community. Together we can provide reliable, stable income for excellent education every year.

Your donation can double, or even possibly triple, its impact if your employer offers a matching gift program. Some employers will even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

The process is simple, but must be initiated by you, the donor. Contact your HR department to determine if your company matches gifts. Please note that there is typically a time limit to request a matching gift. Thank you in advance for taking this important extra step on behalf of Catlin Gabel.

Here are a few examples of companies that match gifts:

• Bank of America
• Columbia Sportswear Company
• Google
• Hewlett Packard
• Intel
• Kaiser Permanente
• Lam Research
• Morgan Stanley
• Nike
• Pacific Power
• Siemens
• Techtronix
• Verizon
• Wieden + Kennedy

Have questions about matching gifts? Please contact Aidan Krainock ’02, Annual Giving and Communications Director.

Leave a legacy of generosity with gifts that can help meet your financial and philanthropic goals. A bequest reduces the size of a taxable estate and can lower federal estate tax liability. For more information, please see our Planned Giving page or contact Nicole Rinetti-Clawson, Director of Advancement.

You can donate an unwanted car or truck, no matter what the condition. Our coordinators from Donate for Charity will contact you and arrange the delivery or free pick-up of your vehicle. Catlin Gabel will receive a portion of the sale of your vehicle, you will receive a minimum $500 tax deduction (it may be higher, depending on what the car is sold for), and Catlin Gabel receives the net proceeds to support our students. We appreciate all of our parents, alumni and friends for considering this option to help support Catlin Gabel.
