How to donate to Lesley University
Gifts to Lesley University support students across Education, Mental Health and Well-Being, Art and Design, Liberal Arts and Business, and Threshold, Lesley's program for neurodiverse learners. Gifts of any amount help expand internships and field placements, financial aid, and the programs that prepare graduates for careers in education, mental health, the arts, and other essential fields.
To make a gift, visit Lesley's Give Online page, where you can designate your gift to one of these areas. To explore the areas your gift can support first, visit My Philanthropic Goals.

Donating stock
You can also donate stock to Lesley. Ask your broker to transfer the shares directly to Lesley's brokerage account instead of selling them first.
Contact Lesley's advancement team for the transfer details, and let them know your name, the stock, the number of shares, and the area you want to support, so the gift can be identified and receipted. See Contact Us below for phone numbers and email addresses.
In general, donating appreciated shares you have held for over a year can avoid the capital gains tax a sale would trigger, and may allow a deduction at fair market value. Confirm the tax treatment with your own tax advisor.
