Targeted Ways of Giving

The American College of Greece is embarking on a new effort to raise funds for programs, buildings, faculty and a comprehensive financial aid program for students. Alumni and friends will help make these strategic initiatives possible. From unrestricted gifts used at the discretion of the College to support institutional operations to designated donations in support of specific programs or projects, your help will ensure we continue providing the very best possible education to future generations of graduates.

Current giving opportunities include:

DEREE Fund|PIERCE Fund

The DEREE Fund and PIERCE Fund support the College’s higher education and secondary education divisions. Gifts to the Funds are used for student financial aid, faculty and staff development, library acquisitions, co-curricular activities, technology, campus enhancement and other operating needs at DEREE or PIERCE

Endowment Funds

Gifts to endowment create funds in perpetuity. The income from these permanently endowed funds provides an annual flow of financial support to the College. The College's donor-designated endowments include unrestricted and restricted funds.

Capital Gifts

As the College finalizes its campus master plan (including Aghia Paraskevi, Downtown and Plaka) there will be many important opportunities to make gifts that help in the creation of new facilities, as well as the upgrading, renovation and restoration of existing buildings to accommodate academic and co-curricular program enhancement. Specific information about these plans will be forthcoming.
