Designating Your Gift to College of Alameda

The Peralta Colleges Foundation manages donations to the College of Alameda. Please be sure to designate that your gift is for College of Alameda at the time of your donation. If not specifically designated for CoA, your gift will go to the Peralta Colleges General Fund.

In addition to designating your gift to College of Alameda, you may also designate that it is to be used for a specific purpose across the College, such as support for the College of Alameda Promise scholarships, or a specific program or department. All such designations must be made in writing at the time your donation is received.
