Thank you for considering a gift to York University!

To make your gift:

• Give online to York University using the button to the right. Use this secure option to make your gift now. You can make a one-time gift or a reoccurring gift.
• Give a one-time gift by check. You can use this printable gift form (PDF file) if you have special instructions. (See mailing address below.)
• ​Give using the IRA charitable rollover. For anyone 70 ½ years and older, this is often the best, most convenient option to avoid tax while giving. Learn more about IRA qualified charitable distributions here.
• Give monthly by setting up an automatic bank draft. Follow the instructions on the printable bank draft (PDF file) form to make a regular gift. If you have any special instructions, you may also use the printable gift form (PDF file) to designate your donation. This is the most cost-effective way to make a reoccurring gift. 
• Give on a regular basis with a frequency selected by you via credit card using our secure online giving option. Pick a schedule that works for you when selecting the donation frequency option.
• Give securities, real estate or other non-cash donations. This is often a tax advantageous way to give. For more information, call the advancement office at 402-363-5664 or email Jared Stark at jastark@york.edu.
• If you have set up a donor advised fund (DAF), this is another option for giving to York University. Contact us if you need any additional information to recommend a gift for York University from your DAF.
• If you shop with Amazon Smile and select York University as your charity of choice, Amazon will give YU a small percentage of the transaction. It doesn't cost you anything extra, and every little bit YU receives blesses students.
• Memorial or honor gifts should include the name of the person you are recognizing along with the name and address of those to be notified. This information may be included on the available gift form. Memorial and honor gifts are listed annually in the summer edition of YU's Heritage magazine.

On July 1, 2022, our name changed from York College to York University. Two important notes for our donors:

• To simplify giving to York College/York University, we will retain a DBA (doing business as) York College status for years to come. Whether your gift is designated for York College or York University, it can be easily receipted, recognized, and appreciated. In either case, your gifts will continue to be acknowledged as a charitable deduction for tax purposes.
• Our ability to accept gifts for either York College or York University means that any provisions you have made for a donation, whether through a testamentary gift, as a beneficiary of an IRA, or other account will still be valid after July 1, 2022.
