Ways to Give

Your gift is like the spine of a book: Bringing a community together and building strength.

This place is a palace of hopes and dreams — it's perfect. The staff was great in helping with any challenges I had (inside or outside class) and providing guidance on where to find things in the studio or around town. The studio itself is a binder’s dream and I never want to leave.

LANG INGALLS FUND FOR THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF BOOKBINDING

Lang Ingalls made a landmark gift to the American Academy of Bookbinding, dedicated to expanding access to bookbinding education and sustaining the field for years to come. Your contribution supports scholarships for students at all levels and empowers AAB to grow and adapt its programming to meet the needs of a changing world.

GIFTS OF STOCK

Gifts of stock are a convenient way to make a gift by using assets other than cash. The transactions can be handled with you directly or with your financial representative.

REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTIES

Property is another attractive way to make a gift. When you make gifts of property, certain value appraisals are required. These transactions will be handled with you directly and in conjunction with your legal representative.

LIFE INCOME GIFTS

Earn money on your contribution by transferring money, securities or other assets to a trust or charitable gift annuity (CGA) that will then pay you an income for life or a period of years. The trust or CGA will be designed by you to fit your own needs in conjunction with your legal representative or financial advisor.

If you would like to contribute and make a difference to any of the above opportunities, please contact Christin Marcos, Director of Development.

The small class size and access to lots of direct, hands-on attention provided by experts in the field is simply fantastic!
