Gifts by donors like Mary Ann and Burt Hiester are building a legacy at Allegany College of Maryland. Making that
first gift to support the education of others can be as intimidating as reading a blueprint if you don’t know where to
start. While donations come in all shapes and sizes, here are some of the most popular types of gifts to consider:
Real Estate Monthly Giving
Denae Franklin ’19, an ACM
Foundation Ambassador, and
Audrey Jones ’19 are both excelling
as transfer students at Frostburg
State University after graduating
from ACM in December.
7 ACCESS ACM / Building Futures
New Horizon Society
Our New Horizon Society,
Allegany College of
Maryland Foundation’s
planned giving group, recognizes
individuals who have made a longterm
commitment to supporting
ACM’s financial future.
New Horizon Society members
use planned giving vehicles,
such as a bequest, gift annuity,
charitable trust, real estate, or
gift of life insurance to make their
intentions possible. In turn, they
are recognized in Foundation
publications and through tokens of
appreciation, and receive invitations
to special events. ACM Foundation
staff work with prospective New
Horizon Society members and their
tax and legal advisors to determine
which type of gift meets their
needs and goals.

time while helping others.

lasting way to make a
difference in the lives of
our students while honoring
a loved one or celebrating
a milestone event.

The ACM Pantry Fund
