Ways to Give

Find the gift that's right for your personal goals.
​

Our donors support students and programming through a variety of giving options, including bequests, charitable gift annuities, matching gifts, and appreciated stock in addition to traditional methods like cash, check, and credit cards.

Need help? Our staff can assist with all gift types and our development officers are available to discuss planned gifts like bequests, charitable gift annuities, and more at your convenience. Call University Advancement at 724-738-2004 or email [email protected] to request additional support.

Make an online gift to support an area or program of your choice through our designated giving form using a credit or debit card.

Check

A personal or business check is one of the most direct ways to give to SRU.  Please make your check payable to "SRU Foundation, Inc.," and write the department, program or fund you wish to support on the memo line. Please mail checks to:
SRU Foundation, Inc.
Slippery Rock University
1 Morrow Way, 100 Old Main
Slippery Rock, PA 16057
Bequest
​You may choose to include the Slippery Rock University Foundation as a beneficiary of your estate, through a dollar amount, percentage, or a specific asset such as stock. As with any gift, donors may choose to support a specific department, fund or scholarship.

Charitable Gift Annuity
A gift annuity allows the donor to receive partially tax-free income for life, as well as a tax deduction in the year you make a gift. Upon your passing, the remainder of the annuity will transfer to a predetermined fund or scholarship of your choosing.

Recurring Gift
A recurring gift is one of the most impactful ways to support Slippery Rock University. By making a monthly contribution, you provide reliable, year-round support that helps students access scholarships, academic programs, campus resources, and opportunities that enrich their college experience.

Recurring gifts may seem modest month to month, but over time they create a lasting impact and help ensure SRU can respond to student needs and invest in priorities that strengthen The Rock.

The easiest way to set up a recurring gift is to visit the online giving form, select “Recurring” at the top of the form, enter you donation amount, and select the gift frequency. Gifts can be paid using credit card, bank draft or digital wallets. 
Gift-In-Kind
A gift-in-kind is a charitable gift of goods and/or services. A gift-in-kind can be given to support university programming, departments, and/or events. 

Contact University Advancement for additional assistance with gift-in-kind donations.​

Matching Gifts

Many employers will match your gift to support Slippery Rock University. Matching gifts are a great way for alumni, friends, and parents to increase the impact of personal gifts.  Matching gifts strengthen the significance of the original gift and enable the University to better achieve its mission, preparing students for life and career success.
