Giving Tuesday 2024: A Day Of Giving Back
A Project by UTHealth HoustonFAQ
Will I receive a receipt for my contribution?
Donors who make a gift online will receive an email confirmation from Scalefunder, our Crowdfunding and Giving Day platform, acknowledging their donation. An official gift receipt from UTHealth Houston will also be sent to you for tax purposes.
Is my contribution tax-deductible?
All philanthropic contributions to UTHealth Houston are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Will my name or donation amount be visible online?
When you make your donation online, you will have the opportunity to make your name and/or gift amount anonymous when you reach the "Donor Wall Settings" portion of the donation page. Otherwise, it will appear publicly. Gifts received through the mail will be uploaded to the donation site and will be listed anonymously with an undisclosed gift amount by default unless otherwise notified.
Can UTHealth Houston employees give through payroll deduction?
Yes! Please fill out the online payroll deduction form here. If you have any questions about making your Giving Day gift through payroll deduction, please contact us at giving@uth.tmc.edu.
Are matching gifts accepted?
Donation matches offered by your employer can double the impact of your gift! Some employers may also match gifts made by the spouses of employees. You can use our gift matching tool or check with your company or organization to see if they will match your gift. If you have any questions about making a matching gift, please contact us at giving@uth.tmc.edu.
Can I make a gift of securities through my will or estate plan?
Yes, you can utilize stocks or securities to make a gift to UTHealth Houston! Your gift of securities can provide you with significant tax and financial benefits, such as bypassing capital gains taxes. If you have any questions about making a matching gift, please contact us at giving@uth.tmc.edu.
