Ways to Give

Please contact our office at 302-831-6276 or make a gift online so you can support UD Athletics with gifts in a variety of ways. Tax deductible gift options include:

Unrestricted Gifts

Gift made without any sport designation.

Restricted Gifts

Gifts designated for a particular sport. Gifts must have sport restriction noted on check or pledge form.

Cash/Check Gifts

Gifts by cash or check may be made in full or in installments prior to June 30th to receive full donor benefits.

Stock Gifts

Giving stock can have tax benefits for you.

Credit Cards

Gifts using either Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. This is a perfect way to contribute to UD Athletics with your monthly budget.

Matching Gifts

Many companies provide a matching gift program as a benefit to encourage their employees to make charitable donations. Upon making this donation, the company will “match” the employee’s original gift; the amount or percentage matched varies per company. Any portion of your gift that is designated to athletics may give you the right to purchase priority seating and parking at an athletic event, and IRS rules may limit the deductible portion of that gift to 80 percent of the amount contributed. Therefore, your company will only match 80% of your contribution. To determine if you are eligible to make a matching gift and to receive a matching gift form, check with your employer. Note: matching gifts cannot be processed for companies that prohibit gifts to Athletics. To search our matching gifts companies click here.

Gifts-In-Kind

Athletic budget costs can be greatly reduced by the donation of goods, for which you receive donor credit at cash value.

Special Gifts

In addition to outright gifts, there are a variety of giving options you can use to make a gift in support of UD student athletes. These would include, but are not limited to gifts of mutual funds, gifts of real estate, or gifts of tangible personal property. Other gift arrangements can provide you with an income for life, while providing funds for the athletic program in the future. These gifts include charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. Gifts such as bequests and other beneficiary designations from your retirement account or life insurance can also be earmarked as a future gift to the UDAF. Please contact Martha Mitchell, Director of Planned Giving at 302.831.8633 or by e-mail at martham@udel.edu for additional information.
