Giving & Donations
Every donor's philanthropic journey is unique. Whether you choose to give through cash, appreciated securities, real estate, or other assets, there are many ways to create a meaningful gift that reflects your values, supports your financial goals, and advances the mission of Montclair State University.
Our Societies
The President’s Club
Throughout the University’s 110-year history, some characteristics of Montclair State students have remained constant: they are hardworking, ambitious, and, in many cases, the first in their families to attend college. While Montclair State students still have as much grit as ever, no amount of hard work can overcome the formidable obstacle of paying for college that many of our students face.
Your generous gift of $1,000 or more brings membership in the President’s Club and can change the trajectory of a student’s life by putting a rigorous, challenging education within reach, regardless of financial circumstances. Your generous annual gift makes an immediate impact and is greatly appreciated by our students and college community.

The Carpe Diem Society
The Carpe Diem Society recognizes alumni, faculty, friends and others who secure the future of Montclair State University.

We are deeply grateful for these gifts and know that they will enhance the programs and support of future generations of students and leaders.
