HOW AND WHAT TO GIVE

Giving by Mail

You may send gifts to: Office for Institutional Advancement, Mars Hill University, P.O. Box 336, Mars Hill, NC 28754.

Giving by Phone

If you would like to speak to a staff member about a gift, please call (828) 689-1102, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. If these times are not convenient, please leave us a message and we will be glad to return your call when it is convenient for you.

Giving Through a Matching Gifts Program

Many companies match their employees’ gifts to their alma mater. You may be able to double or even triple your gift if you (or your spouse) work for a company that matches gifts to higher education. This benefit is often extended to retired employees as well. Check with your company’s human resources department to see if there is a match gift program and to obtain the necessary forms.

Giving Through Automatic Bank Draft

MHU can automatically withdraw your monthly gifts directly from a checking or savings account by your registration for our Automatic Bank Draft program. If you are interested in this program please mail a voided check to:

You also may contact Karen Hedrick, Gift Services Associate, with any additional questions.
Email – khedrick@mhu.edu
Phone – (828) 689-1584

*Please include a start and end date for your pledge so that we know when to stop the automatic drafts from being debited from your account. If your gift will be open-ended please indicate that on your check.

Giving Stocks or Other Property

You may donate gifts of individual stocks, bonds, or shares of mutual funds, as well as real estate or other real property. Please contact your financial advisor or the Office for Institutional Advancement at (828) 689-1102 for information regarding transfers of stock or other types of property.

Planned Giving
