Sustaining Giving

A recurring gift plan makes your annual gift to Amherst College easy and convenient, and it’s a great way to ensure your continued support of Amherst’s students and faculty as a sustaining donor. Credit cards can be charged monthly or annually. Signing up is as easy as checking the recurring giving box on our online giving form.  As one of the College's most loyal supporters, you are a member of the Irradient Society, which honors consistent support of the Amherst Fund.
