Payroll deduction

Oregon State University and OSU Foundation employees can provide a steady stream of support to the funds of their choice through payroll deduction. It's an easy way to make gifts over time without any need for reminders.

Matching gifts

Many employers sponsor matching-gift programs — multiply the impact of your gift with employer match programs and gift-matching. It could be doubled or possibly tripled, and some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Run a quick search through our database to see if your company or organization has a gift-matching policy.

Gifts of stock and transfer of securities

Donate appreciated stock as a generous gift, to avoid long-term capital gains tax and deduct the full market value on your tax return.

ACH or Wire transfer

Make a gift via ACH or wire transfer by downloading and completing the ACH or Wire Transfer Form.

Real estate and property gifts

Gifts of donated property such as real estate, trusts, gift annuities, insurance, retirement assets and in-kind gifts may be immediate or planned gifts.
