Types of Donations

Outright Gift or Pledge:
Cash / Stocks & Securities / Personal Property

Regardless of size, an outright gift directly assists the Psychology Department to support areas that are significant to the donor. The most common type of the donations is outright gifts, and can be utilized immediately.

The Psychology department can accept donations to support current operations, endowment, and capital purposes and can handle the procedures for gifts of cash, securities, and certain types of property.

Donor can pledge an amount to the gift opportunity of the designated support and arrange to pay it in installments over two to five years.

Matching Gifts:
Many companies have gift-matching programs, and match (at a specified level or even double or triple) the donations of employees' contributions to qualifying non-profit organizations. You can search our online database or ask your company's HR department to see if your company participates. Companies HR office would have a form for matching gift.
