A fund becomes endowed – and therefore a permanent named legacy for the class – when total gifts reach $10,000. Gifts are welcome at any time and in many formats: Checks can be made payable to Fredonia College Foundation with the Class Gift Name and year in the memo section. Credit card gifts can be made by mail, phone or at www.fredonia.edu/foundation.
To arrange a stock transfer or discuss a bequest as part of your will or another planned gift, contact Karen West at Karen.West@fredonia.edu or 716-673-3321.
