Ways to Give

Your gift to the University of New Haven can be made in many different ways.  Please review the numerous options available. Your gift to the University supports our students, faculty, and the greater New Haven community. You may choose to:

Make a Cash Gift

Charitable gifts are most often made in the form of cash and checks. Cash gifts are convenient for many people and are easily recorded through canceled checks and receipts. Remember that it is important to save all receipts to assure maximum tax savings.

Cash gifts can be made by:

Check - Made payable to University of New Haven, and mailed to:

University of New Haven
Office of Annual Giving
300 Boston Post Road
West Haven, CT 06516

Credit Card - Call, 1-203-932-7271, with your MasterCard, VISA or AMEX account information.

Payroll deduction - UNH employees can call Scott Davis in the Annual Fund Office at 203-932-7046 to setup a payroll deduction.

Make a Planned Gift

Through careful planning of charitable gifts it can be possible to secure UNH"s future - and your own.  By choosing the best tool to fund gifts, their timing, and the methods used to make them, it can be possible to make larger gifts while minimizing or eliminating federal estate and gift taxes that might otherwise be due.  This can be accomplished while preserving, or even enhancing, your financial well-being.

Give a Gift-In-Kind, Property, or Stock

If you have non-cash property, such as stocks and mutual funds, that has grown in value (appreciated) and been held long-term (more than one year), you can generally enjoy greater tax savings from giving such property than from giving an equivalent amount of cash. That's because a gift of appreciated property lets you bypass capital gain tax that could be due if you sold the asset. You are also entitled to a charitable deduction based on the property's current value, including the "paper profits" you have earned since you have owned it.  Click here to download the stock transfer form.
