The Atlantic Cape Foundation requests that donors or their attorneys contact Maria Kellett, Director of Major Gifts, (609) 463-3670 or mkellett@atlantic.edu to discuss possibilities. Atlantic Cape’s educational activities and programs change over time, and the needs of this generation of students may not be the same as those of the next. Therefore, whenever you indicate a particular purpose for your bequest, it is advisable to grant the Atlantic Cape Foundation the authority to respond to changing needs.
