Methods of Giving to UW Intercollegiate Athletics

There are several ways Husky fans can make their gift to the huskies. The UW athletic development staff is available to discuss the method that best fits a donor’s needs.

Annual Cash Gifts

The most popular way of giving is through an unrestricted cash contribution. Contributions provide the yearly financial resources necessary to operate a successful athletic program.

Matching Gifts

Many companies have matching gift programs for contributions by employees. This method is an excellent opportunity to increase your Tyee point totals with no additional cost to you. Check with your company’s benefits department for matching gift information and the proper forms to include with your contribution.

Securities or Appreciated Assets

Donors who give stocks, bonds or other appreciated assets take full advantage of the tax system by receiving an income tax reduction and avoiding capital gains tax. The University will work with a donor, or the donor’s representative, to transfer the assets that will then be sold with proceeds directed to a fund chosen by the donor.

Planned Gifts

Donors interested in supporting the future of Husky athletics sometimes choose to make life income or planned gifts. Gift annuities, charitable trusts, and bequests are just a few vehicles available. The University welcomes the opportunity to work with donors.
