Alumni

The Bates experience is defined by a “commitment to responsible stewardship of the wider world.” As alumni, your support ensures that the college remains a “model of the liberal arts,” fostering the next generation of leaders and scholars.

Many members of the Bates community look for ways to deepen their impact in ways that align with their personal financial goals. Creative Ways to Give is an invitation to explore how different assets can be used to sustain the Bates mission. Through stories of fellow Bobcats, we will discuss how thoughtful planning can transform assets—such as appreciated securities, retirement accounts, or real estate—into lasting opportunities for students.

We invite you to join the Gift Planning team in this webinar to discuss:

• Meaningful Impact: How non-cash assets can provide significant support for the college’s future.
• Strategic Philanthropy: Understanding the tax benefits of giving through stocks, bonds, or donor-advised funds.
• Providing for the Future: How life insurance and retirement assets can shield heirs while creating a Bates legacy.

Discover how your “ardor and devotion” can shape the Bates of tomorrow.
