End of Calendar Year Giving

  • Credit Cards: To receive a current-year gift receipt, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ needs to charge your credit card before midnight on December 31. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s giving portal takes credit cards and automatically charges the card within minutes of the gift. You are strongly encouraged to give online if you need a gift receipt to reflect the date of your contribution. At the end of the calendar year when ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s campus is closed for winter break, your gift may not be recorded until after the new year.
  • Checks: If you mail your check, your gift must be postmarked on or before December 31 to receive a current-year gift receipt.
  • UPS/FedEx Deliveries: For a delivery to qualify for a current-year gift receipt, someone at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ must sign/take possession of the delivery on or before December 31. With the shortened hours of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s mailroom over winter break, please consider alternative ways to send a last-minute gift if you would like a current-year gift receipt.

  • Electronic Stock Transfers: The date of your gift, and how we value your gift, is based on the date the shares enter ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s clearing account.
