Ways to Give
Some individuals appreciate the convenience of making a direct gift of credit card or check to support Slippery Rock University. Making a gift on-line has become a preferred method due to timeliness. Others make a bequest that will benefit future generations of SRU students. And others gift stock or real estate to fund their gifts. Each gift made to benefit Slippery Rock University is important and is greatly appreciated. These gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Following are a few ways to make a gift to enhance the SRU experience for students.
Online
Make an online gift..” to “Support an area or program of your choice through our designated giving forms using a credit card or your preferred Mobile Wallet
Check
A personal check is one of the most direct ways to give to SRU. Please make your check payable to "SRU Foundation, Inc.," write the department, program or fund you wish to support on the memo line, include our printable giving form, and send it to:
SRU Foundation, Inc. |
Gifts of Stock
Choosing to give appreciated stock to the Slippery Rock University Foundation can help you avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable tax credit for the full value of your gift. For example, John purchased stock in 1985 for $200; it is now worth $1,000. By donating the stock to the Slippery Rock University Foundation, John will not have any capital gain to pay and he will receive a tax deduction for the $1,000 donation.
