Gifts of Cash
(Gift illustration)

How it works

You send a check, wire funds, or contribute online to Yale.

We use your donation for the purposes you specify.

Benefits

  • Use the simplest asset to make your donation — no appraisal or acceptance requirements as with gifts of appreciated property.
  • Deliver a gift that Yale can use immediately.
  • Receive a full charitable deduction, and apply it against a larger percentage of your taxable income than a deduction for a property gift.

For more information

Email us, complete the personal illustration form, or call us at 1 (800) 445-6086 so that we can assist you through every step of the process.
