The Mercy College Blue White Fund
"In Support of Mercy College
Athletics" 
What is the
Mercy College Blue White Fund?
The Mercy College Blue White Fund is the
athletics fundraising arm of Mercy College. The goal of The
Mercy College Blue White Fund is excellence - in the
pursuit of academic and athletics success. The Mercy
College Blue White Fund provides an opportunity for
alumni, friends, parents, businesses and other organizations to
support Mercy College Athletics. Annual financial support
helps provide Mercy College student-athletes with opportunities to
compete at the highest-level in NCAA Division II, both regionally
and nationally. Gifts to The Mercy College Blue White
Fund help to enhance scholarship opportunities, improve
facilities, boost recruiting, and provide additional program
support. Donors have the opportunity to make restricted gifts to
any of Mercy College's 14 intercollegiate sports teams,
recreation/intramurals, sports medicine/athletic training,
marketing/communications or may make an unrestricted gift to
The Mercy College Blue White Fund, which provides
support for all athletics and recreation programs. Comprehensive
gift club levels will appropriately recognize donors for their
generosity and support.

Direct Contributions
Direct contributions are the most common method of giving
to The Mercy College Blue White Fund. Your
donation is deductible on your income tax return for the year in
which you make the gift. Gifts of cash (check or credit card)
are the most simple and most direct form of giving. You may
leave your gift unrestricted to support the Athletics Department in
general or restrict your gift for a specific sport or program.

contributions of employees. The Mercy College Blue
White Fund qualifies for many of the matching-gift
programs, and you receive full credit for the total gift on your
Blue White Fund membership.
Endowed Scholarship Funds
Establishing an endowed scholarship fund is a way to
assure continued benefits of a meaningful gift. The principal
gift is protected and its interest income is distributed annually
according to the criteria established by the donor.

support of Mercy College Athletics. You may claim the gift as
a charitable tax deduction of the fair market value of the donated
