Ways to Give
You can make a gift to Skidmore in a variety of ways, including online, over the phone, by mail, or by setting up a planned gift. When you make your gift, you can also choose what your funds will support, whether it's for a particular initiative, current priority, athletics, scholarships, or another designation. If you don't choose a designation, your gift will support the Skidmore Fund and be allocated where the College needs it most.
