Gifts That Benefit You and the University Now

How to Give

The following options for giving to the University can allow you to increase educational opportunities for deserving students and may provide significant tax benefits. Click on a gift model below to learn more.

Under the tax law changes that were passed in 2017, the standard deduction was increased to $12,000 for an individual and to $24,000 for a couple filing jointly. In addition, the deduction for state and local income taxes was capped at $10,000.

If your deductible expenses for 2020 will be near but below the standard deduction, you may wish to consider increasing your 2020 charitable giving in order to take maximum advantage of the charitable income tax deduction.
