If you are considering donating an asset such as industry equipment, software, or valuable collections, please contact the Office of Advancement to discuss how your gift can support our mission. This form must be filled out in its entirety along with all associated paperwork before Thomas College can accept a gift-in-kind.

Your recurring gift is automatically deducted in small increments, providing steady, reliable support for our students and programs. You can email Maddie Rock for more information or fill out the Payroll Deduction for Giving form and return it to the Advancement Office.
