Checks should be made out to “The University of Utah.”
Please include a note telling us how you would like your gift to be used.
When making a donation via check, it’s essential to provide clear information to ensure your contribution is directed to the intended cause.
In the memo line of your check, specify the program or fund you wish to support, such as “Department of Philosophy” or “Whisner / Appleby Scholarship Endowment in Philosophy.” This detail helps our gift processors accurately allocate your donation, streamlining their efforts to make an impact. Additionally, if you have any special instructions or preferences regarding the use of your gift, consider including those in a separate note or covering letter.
This clarity not only aids in effective fund management but also enhances the overall transparency and efficiency of the giving process.
Matching Gifts
With matching gifts, you may sometimes double or even triple your gift. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees.

Give through a Donor-Advised Fund
A Donor-Advised Fund offers the opportunity to create an easy-to-establish, low cost, flexible vehicle for charitable giving as an alternative to direct giving or to creating a private foundation. This is accomplished by first establishing a DAF with an irrevocable donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program. The donor then recommends the allocation of the donated assets to a qualified public charity (such as the University of Utah).
If you have questions about recommending gifts via Donor-Advised Funds, please contact Kristen Dorius:

Cryptocurrency
The University of Utah is unable to accept cryptocurrency at this time. If you are interested in making a gift using cryptocurrency, you may consider working with a Donor-Advised Fund. A Donor-Advised Fund may accept gifts of cryptocurrency and in turn allow donors to recommend the allocation of donated assets to the qualified public charity (such as the University of Utah).
