Thank you for considering joining us in financial support of our organization, in our mission and ministry supporting Baptist work and fellowship at William and Mary and among alumni. General donations are undesignated and will be used to further the mission of the organization in a variety of ways. You may also choose to designate all or some of your gift to the endowment fund, a more restricted fund. (For more information on giving to the endowment fund or for any other questions, feel free to send us a message through the form on the "contact us" page.)

Other ways to give
Giving by check or stock:
Of course, you may still send in an old-fashioned check as always, written out to "BCM Alumni Association at Willam and Mary" (or simply, "BCMAAWM") and sent to Treasurer, 6829 Elkhardt Rd.,
North Chesterfield, VA 23225.
You may also contact the treasurer at the address above (or by e-mail using the "Contact" page link above) if you are interested in donating stock or in estate planning, or donating to the endowment. We are able to accept those types of donations, and we would be glad to walk you through the process.
Matching gifts or donations from work:
If your workplace offers matching donations or other charitable donations as employee incentives, you will likely be able to choose BCM Alumni Association at William & Mary as the recipient. Simply look for us in the list of authorized not-for-profit groups your company supports. We have qualified for many and may be on your company's list.
