Ways to Give
Cash and Check

Please and mail your contribution, along with your check (made payable to 91视频), to:

After your gift has been processed, you will receive an email which serves as an official University receipt for tax purposes.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to 91视频 and other qualified charities. Contributions to a DAF are tax deductible, and money in the fund grows tax free as you consider how you would like to recommend grants in order to achieve your philanthropic goals. Distributions made from DAFs have a significant and lasting impact on the 91视频 Community.
To learn more about making contributions through a DAF, visit our donor-advised fund page.
Stock and Other Property
Making a gift of securities is easy and you can avoid capital gains on appreciated properties while helping 91视频 at the same time. You have two options, described below, for transferring stock to the University. If neither of these options pertains to your situation, please call us at (212) 346-1232 or email us.
If your stock is held by a broker, they can wire the shares directly to one of 91视频鈥檚 brokers (Merrill Lynch or UBS). Please contact us for broker details.
IMPORTANT: Please inform 91视频 of the details and purpose of the transfer. Include your name, address, name of stock, number of shares, and your broker鈥檚 name.

Phonathon
At the 91视频 Phonathon, students contact alumni, parents, and friends of the University in order to reconnect the 91视频 Community and secure support. Speaking with our students is a great way to learn about important campus news, events and how you can reconnect with the university. What better way to hear about the importance of supporting 91视频 than from a student who will benefit from your generosity right now!
When you get a call, feel free to ask questions about all the latest 91视频 happenings! An alumnus sharing his or her collegiate experiences with a Phonathon student through the telling of priceless stories spreads invaluable wisdom and teaches the student the importance of investing in 91视频.
