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).
If you have questions about donations with cryptocurrency, please contact Kirsten Dorius at (801) 585-0745 (toll-free 800-716-0377) or kirsten.dorius@utah.edu.
Securities and Funds
Gifts of securities, including closely held stock and mutual funds, may be donated to the university directly from your brokerage account to the University of Utah’s account, or by transferring stock power to the university.
Give Securities
For more information about donating securities, please contact the office of Gift Processing at (801) 585-0745 (toll-free 800-716-0377) or kirsten.dorius@utah.edu.
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 the office of Gift Processing at (801) 585-0745 (toll-free 800-716-0377) or kirsten.dorius@utah.edu.
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.
Please note that some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
In Honor of a Loved One
Honor a friend or loved one by making a contribution in their honor. Honorees or their families will be notified of your donation to their favorite U program.
For more information, please call Advancement Services at (801) 581-3720 (toll-free 800-716-0377) or email ugive@utah.edu
Legacy Giving
Making a legacy gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for the University of Utah and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals.
With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to the University of Utah.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with various gift options by exploring Types of Legacy Gifts and Assets to Give. Then compare gift options and/or calculate how these gifts could work for you. And of course, please contact us for assistance or to discuss your personal situation and objectives.
Payroll Deduction
University of Utah staff and faculty can give to University programs through payroll deduction. Payroll deductions may be set up or modified online any time of day.
If you have questions regarding payroll deduction gifts, please contact Kirsten Dorius at (801) 585-0745 (toll-free 800-716-0377) or kirsten.dorius@utah.edu.
