2025 Year End Giving
Your Gift Matters at Year‑end!
As 2025 comes to a close and you prioritize your year‑end giving, support our students and the university by making a gift, at any level, by Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025.
Smart Giving Before 2026
With federal tax law changes scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026, many donors are finding that “stacking” or combining multiple years of charitable gifts into a single, larger contribution before the change can offer meaningful tax advantages. If you’re considering a multi-year commitment, making a larger gift now may maximize your charitable deduction under current rules.
As always, we encourage donors to consult their financial or tax advisors to determine what strategy works best for their individual situation.
Below are the year-end giving deadlines to help you plan your gift.
