Types of Donations
Outright Gift or Pledge:
Cash / Stocks & Securities / Personal Property
Regardless of size, an outright gift directly assists the Psychology Department to support areas that are significant to the donor. The most common type of the donations is outright gifts, and can be utilized immediately.
The Psychology department can accept donations to support current operations, endowment, and capital purposes and can handle the procedures for gifts of cash, securities, and certain types of property.
Donor can pledge an amount to the gift opportunity of the designated support and arrange to pay it in installments over two to five years.
Matching Gifts:
