Giving to RMC
Giving at Rocky is rooted in relationships and transformational impact. Whether supporting scholarships, endowment, athletics, or capital projects, our donors share a deep belief in the mission of the College and the value of private higher education in Montana. The Office of Development strives to make giving easy and meaningful. Please feel free to reach out at any time by emailing development@rocky.edu or calling (406) 657-1008.
Ways to Give
There are many ways to make an impact through your giving and we are always here to help answer any questions or help walk through your options. Below you will find a list of some of the most common ways to give. We invite you to choose the method or combination of methods that brings the most meaning and best aligns with your philanthropic goals.
Outright Gifts
Credit Card
This is the simplest way to contribute, and the preferred method for many donors. You can pay with your credit card online, allowing you to make multiple designations within a single gift. Use our online gift form to make a gift.
You have options when making your credit card gift. You can make a one-time gift today, create an installment plan, or create a recurring gift. A recurring gift is an open-ended gift where you decide the amount and the frequency of your gift.
Gifts by Mail or Phone
You can mail a check made out to Rocky Mountain College. Please include a note informing us of the gift designation and send to:
Rocky Mountain College
Office of Development
1511 Poly Drive
Billings, MT 59102
You can also call the Office of Development at 406-657-1008 to give a gift over the phone.
Gifts-in-kind
Personal and tangible property, when donated for educational purposes, such as art, books, technology, or even livestock are recognized at their fair market value. If you incur expenses while volunteering or donating services for Rocky Mountain College, you can coordinate with staff to make your expenses a gift. Contact the Office of Development at development@rocky.edu to plan your gift-in-kind or learn more.
Matching Gifts
Double the impact of your gift! Many employers sponsor matching programs for employees’ charitable gifts. Ask your employer to see if your employer has a matching program. Please contact development@rocky.edu if you have a question about matching gifts.
Securities
Rocky Mountain College welcomes gifts of appreciated securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have grown in value. If you would like to make a gift of stock to RMC, please contact the Office of Development for specific information about the process. For your convenience, you are also welcome to have your financial advisor contact us directly at development@rocky.edu or at 406-657-1008.
Real Estate
You can contribute real estate either as an outright gift or as a gift through your estate. By donating appreciated real estate to Rocky Mountain College, you provide generous support to the College for years to come. Our office is available to discuss any gifts of real estate you may be considering. Please contact John Pearson at 406-657-1008 or email development@rocky.edu for more information.
Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff gifts, of all sizes, support Rocky Mountain College’s mission to provide students an individualized experience that prepares them to be lifelong learners and successful in their careers. As RMC employees, your greatest contribution is of your time and dedication to the mission of the college and we are grateful for your contributions. If you are interested in giving financially, you may make a gift online or set up a gift through payroll deduction by contacting Human Resources.
