Ways to Give
No matter how you choose to give, 100 percent of your gift directly benefits our students, faculty and staff at College of the Mainland.
At College of the Mainland, we are committed to ensuring that each of our students receive a high-quality and innovative learning experience that will launch them into a rewarding and successful future. But that experience would not be possible without you. Your investment on any level leaves a lasting effect on the COM community. Gifts provide scholarships for COM students, promote the work of our faculty and help COM start new, visionary programs and strengthen existing ones.
Pledges
COM Foundation also accepts single and multi-payment pledges. They are a convenient way to achieve your goals of supporting projects and programs over time. You may designate your gift to a specific program or leave it unrestricted so we may use it where the need is greatest. Pledges are not tax deductible until paid. To make a pledge, use the Gift Pledge Form.
Payroll Deductions
If you are a COM faculty or staff member, download and complete the Faculty and Staff Giving Form to make a gift or pledge via payroll deduction. This form allows you to designate where to use your gift. Send the completed form to COM Foundation, located in the Doyle Family Administration Building – Suite 219 or email to foundation@com.edu.

Cash, Check & Credit
Cash, often in the form of a check or credit card, is the simplest way to give. Cash gifts enable donors to claim a current tax deduction for the year they give the gift. Click here to give online with your credit card. To make a gift by mail, please complete the Gift Pledge Form.
Planned Gifts
Planning a gift creates a legacy that will benefit COM students for generations without affecting cash flow during your lifetime. We welcome the opportunity to work with you and your attorney, tax advisor or financial planner to ensure your goals are achieved.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match the charitable contributions their employees or retirees make – often doubling or even tripling the impact of your gift! Check with your company’s human resources department to find out if they offer a matching gifts program or check our non-inclusive list of companies. The process is simple and worth the effort. Request the matching gift form and send to COM with your gift.
Honorarium & Memorial Gifts
A gift made in honor or memory of someone is an enduring tribute that can also make a difference for a student at College of the Mainland. For gifts made in honor of someone, we will send an acknowledgement to the person, organization, or family members you are honoring with your gift.
If you make your gift online, please provide this information in the comment box: The person or event you are honoring and where the acknowledgement should be addressed. If we have any questions, we will be in touch.

Gifts to the COM Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. You will receive a receipt for tax purposes within two business days of your donation.
