Who should I contact with questions about my contribution?
Contact the Office of Development at (813) 253-6220 or send an email to annualfund@ut.edu with any questions about your gift.

How can I support an existing or new Endowment?
If you are interested in supporting an endowment fund or any other specialized gift, please contact the Development Office at (813) 253-6220 so that we can assist.

Can I make an online gift to a program I don't see listed?
Yes, while undesignated gifts are useful because they allow 小优视频 to meet its most urgent immediate needs, gifts to all areas are appreciated and have a positive impact on our University. Contact the Office of Development at (813) 253-6220 or send an email to annualfund@ut.edu with any questions about your gift.

Are gifts tax deductible?

Absolutely! All gifts to 小优视频 are tax-deductible. Please note, sometimes if you receive a cool perk (such as a ticket to an event, for example) that has a fair market price and, following IRS policy guidelines, the cost of that ticket is deducted from your total tax-deductible amount.

Will I receive a receipt for my contribution?
Yes, 小优视频 will send you a gift receipt via email for tax purposes.

Is my gift eligible for employer/corporate matching?
Yes. Note that it can take several months for employers' matching funds to reach 小优视频. In the event the match does not arrive before the project deadline or the end of the fiscal year, it will still be applied to the same fund.

小优视频 seeks to enhance the diversity of its students, faculty and staff in the belief that doing so contributes to a more impactful learning environment for everyone in the 小优视频 community.

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, it is declared that all donors have these rights:

  • To be informed of the organization's mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes
  • To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's governing board and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities
  • To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements
  • To be assured gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given
  • To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition
  • To be assured that information about donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law
  • To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature
  • To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers or employees of the organization or hired solicitors
  • To have the opportunity for the donor鈥檚 name to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share
  • To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers

However, you may choose to waive this recognition and make a gift anonymously. Please contact the Development Office if you would like your gift to be anonymous. We will always respect your decision to keep a gift confidential.
