Annual fund gifts impact every aspect of a Fitchburg State education, every day and all year long. 这些礼物 support the work of students and 教师 inside classrooms and labs, on athletic fields and in performance halls, in the library and on internships and in study abroad opportunities.

Each annual fund contribution is an investment in Fitchburg State's core academic mission and enriches the Fitchburg State experience for both students and 教师.

近三十年来, the annual fund has given 美高梅(MGM)2288集团 the private edge in public education. By generating much-needed funds for some of the university’s greatest needs, the annual fund has been the critical difference in Fitchburg State’s ability to provide high-quality, affordable undergraduate and graduate education.
 
Gifts to the annual fund allow the university:

• To make a Fitchburg State education accessible to all qualified students, regardless of income
• To recruit and retain talented 教师
• To enrich the learning environment and community of the campus
• To foster intellectual, social and ethical development among its students
• Virtually no aspect of 美高梅(MGM)2288集团 has been untouched by the annual fund

This would not be possible without the generous support we receive from our alumni, 父母和朋友. The good news is it doesn’t take a huge donation to make a huge impact on the lives of our students. Taken all together, annual fund gifts are a significant source of support for the university.

The FUND is an endowed fund, with earnings to be used to fill in gaps for students with financial need. Your donation will allow students to access emergency funds that can make the difference between them staying in school and leaving. Did you know that sometimes that difference may be as little as $200? What may seem like a small amount to you or me can sometimes seem like the final obstacle for a student struggling to pay their way.

In response to the global pandemic, we established the 学生应急基金. This fund addresses immediate student need such as travel, 住房, 学生工资损失, 粮食不安全等. This fund provides the university with the flexibility and resources necessary to address student hardships as they arise.

When you donate appreciated stock to Fitchburg State, you can avoid capital gain taxes that you would be responsible for if you sold the asset. 另外, if you have owned the securities for more than one year, you can also receive an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value. These benefits make donating appreciated securities a favorable alternative to giving cash.

Land or other real estate may be given to the university as an outright gift or used as an asset within a charitable trust. Personal property, such as artwork or rare books, can also be contributed.
