Monthly Giving
Become a Trinity GEM by setting up a monthly sustaining gift to Trinity College.
With the Trinity GEM (Give Every Month) Program, your gift is divided into manageable increments, which allows you to maximize the impact of your giving to the College while being more environmentally friendly (no more solicitations in the mail!) and avoiding a large, one-time charge. As a Trinity GEM, you’ll receive benefits all year long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Easy! Visit www.trincoll.edu/GiveOnline (the place for all your online gifts). Choose how you’d like to support Trinity—one of our greatest areas of need, Financial Aid or the Student Emergency and Equity Fund, or choose “Other” and type your designation.
Choose your gift amount and click “Monthly Gift” from the three available options (see below). You may choose to begin your monthly giving on the same day as the transaction, or the subsequent 1st or 15th of the month. Your future monthly gifts will reflect this preference.
And that’s it! The “hardest” part is done. Once you’ve filled out your personal and credit card information, we will email you a gift receipt and you may expect a letter from us welcoming you as a Trinity GEM!
To change how much you give every month, or your gift’s designation, you will need to perform a new transaction. The first gift of your new transaction will be deducted depending on your date preference (i.e. the date of the transaction, or the 1st or the 15th of the month).
Important: To avoid having two scheduled gifts in the system, please email Ellen Bremner at [email protected] notifying her that you would like to cancel your original gift.
If a charge was already attempted on a card that has expired or been replaced, you will receive an automated email asking you to update your card. You can do so by clicking the link in the email.
If you would like to change your card proactively, please call Ellen Bremner at 860-297-2125. She will be able to update your card or ask the system to send you an update request.
Security Tip: Never email your credit card number to anyone, including Trinity.
