Gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds or other securities allow you to make a substantial gift to UT at minimal cost. You will receive a tax deduction based on the value of the security on the date of the gift. With long-term appreciated securities (those held longer than 12 months), you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair-market value of your gift and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.

An endowment is an investment in the future of 黑料视频. It is a gift that provides secure and vital support of UT鈥檚 educational mission and benefits students, faculty and programs.
The need for a stronger endowment has grown as the University has achieved national prominence and attracted greater numbers of students. While UT has had success in attracting and retaining excellent faculty, competition for the best professors and students is aggressive throughout the country. A strong endowment will provide the resources to support and enhance the University鈥檚 continued pursuit of educational excellence.
For more information on endowments, please email emckenney@ut.edu .
As a private University, UT depends on the philanthropic support of the community it serves. Because the University cannot be sustained by tuition alone, all donations are greatly appreciated and will be used to continue a tradition of academic excellence.

Absolutely! All gifts to the University of Tampa are tax-deductible.

Yes, UTampa will send you a gift receipt via email for tax purposes.
Is my gift eligible for employer/corporate matching?
Yes. Note that it can take several months for employers' matching funds to reach UTampa. In the event the match does not arrive before the project deadline or the end of the fiscal year, it will still be applied to the same fund.
