Mary Baldwin College - Giving to MBC

Mary Baldwin College continues to move forward with its vision of becoming a nationally recognized leader in providing personalized, transforming liberal education. To realize this vision, Mary Baldwin relies upon the generous financial support of our alumnae/i, parents, and friends.

All forms of financial support are vital to the well-being of Mary Baldwin and we welcome contributions in any and every form. Endowed gifts and planned gifts ensure the college’s future health by providing a permanent source of support, while gifts to the Annual Fund provide an immediate impact for the students and programs of Mary Baldwin College.

Mary Baldwin’s top giving priority in 2008-2009 is the Annual Fund. This year, the college’s Annual Fund goal is to raise $2.5 million. We invite you to join us in our quest to be a college like no other.

With your support, YOU can make the difference for Mary Baldwin College, her students, and her future.

WHY GIVE?

We are…Boldly Baldwin

At a time when many colleges and universities are seeing steep declines, Mary Baldwin celebrates record enrollment of new students and strong retention of current students. Clearly, our commitment to our students and our community is paying off. Our traditions of academic excellence and personal transformation remain strong, and we continue to innovate with our First-Year Experience program and the introduction of Gateways for the fall freshman class. Gifts support these efforts, and enhance every aspect of the Mary Baldwin experience – everything our students see, hear, and touch as they develop mind, body and character on “these hills where beauty dwells.”

Fuel The Momentum.

With your commitment, you fuel our momentum. Your gifts are essential in affording MBC the means to respond to emerging opportunities and complicated challenges facing the college today. Unrestricted dollars allow MBC to “create our way forward” – to invest strategically, to pursue opportunities, and to reward excellence. The Annual Fund will help support our new “Boldly Baldwin Stimulus Package” that combines personalized Gateway programs, additional need-based and merit assistance, and an internship program all designed to support our young women of promise so that they may continue their momentum of excellence.

Your support is crucial to the continued success of Mary Baldwin College.

Every dollar you give to the college supports the mission and students of Mary Baldwin College. In the current era of shrinking budgets and escalating needs, it is the private support of individuals that makes the difference. Gifts from people like you provide the margin of excellence upon which our community depends.

Give the Gift of Education.

Your gift supports student success. More than 75% of our students rely upon financial aid to attend MBC and realize their dreams of a college education. As student loans become increasingly difficult to obtain, your gift makes much of this assistance possible. Now more than ever, your gift really does make a difference for our students, our college, and our future.

Students are the heart of Mary Baldwin College.

This May, MBC will graduate her 167th class of bright young women. The Class of 2009 exemplifies the Mary Baldwin traditions of academic excellence and personal transformation. Confident, compassionate, changemakers, they will build their lives upon the foundation of their Mary Baldwin experience – a strong liberal arts education in a nurturing single-sex environment. Gifts ensure that the caring professors and advisors, the distinctive programs, and the unique student traditions that make MBC so special will be here for current and future students.

Excellence for Every Woman, Every Day.

That’s our promise to our students, and to our alumnae. Mary Baldwin College remains steadfastly committed to empowering our students to become their best possible selves during these volatile times for our country. Now more than ever, MBC needs your commitment. Your gift allows MBC to create her way forward, and helps our students to change the world. Invest in our students, and be a part of their success.

The Power of Commitment.

It is the power of your commitment that makes a difference for Mary Baldwin College, her students, and her future. Please consider the impact your gift can make for a student, and give generously with an amount that is meaningful to you. Every dollar fuels our momentum. With your support, we will continue to be…Boldly Baldwin.
