I DON’T SEE THE AREA I WANT TO GIVE TO…

The U Giving Day website does not represent all the giving options at the U. If the area you want to support does not have a project page you can still give to them through the traditional University of Utah giving site here. Search the A – Z list for a more complete list of campus areas. Still can’t find want you want to support, email Annual Giving at annual.giving@utah.edu and we can help get your gift to the right place.

 

WILL MY GIFT BE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?

The University of Utah is a registered 501-c3 nonprofit and gifts are tax deductible to the extent of the law. Please consult your tax advisor for any tax related questions. For more information regarding tax deductibility on your Utah athletics giving, please contact the U’s Crimson Club at crimsonclub@huntsman.utah.edu or (801) 585-8837.
