Payroll Deduction

Workplace giving is an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations to charities through payroll contributions.

  1. For non-UVA employees: Contact your HR department to inquire if your company offers charitable giving via payroll deduction.
  2. For UVA faculty and staff: You can conveniently add  Voluntary Deductions right inside Workday. Once you are on the page, simply click on the “Add” button located in the top right corner under the Voluntary Deductions heading. If you require more assistance, please watch this brief tutorial.

If you have questions, please call 434-924-7018.

Mutual Funds

To save time and ensure a smooth transfer, please contact University Advancement Services before starting the process. We can be reached at uas@virginia.edu or 434-924-7018.

Transfer via the Depository Trust Company (DTC)
We are able to accept DTC-eligible mutual fund shares through our brokerage account. This is best coordinated between brokers, as they know which ones can be sent via DTC.

Clearing Broker: Pershing LLC
DTC Participant #: 0443
Account Number: N7M-001327
Credit: University of Virginia Gift Account
Reference: [Donor’s Name][Fund to credit]

Transferring non-DTC-Eligible Mutual Funds
Our brokerage can accept many mutual fund shares that are not DTC-eligible. The process does require coordination between brokers, so the transfer is not rejected and or delayed. Please contact UA Services at uas@virginia.edu or 434-924-7018 so we can determine which brokerage can accept the fund. Once determined, we will give contact information to both brokers so they can coordinate the transfer.

Also, please note that you may need to submit a share transfer form or letter of instruction, and may be required to obtain a signature medallion guarantee from your bank or brokerage as proof of ownership. Call the brokerage firm holding the shares and tell them you wish to gift mutual fund shares to the University (or related foundation). Have the complete fund name and ticker symbol with you. Your broker or mutual fund company will be able to tell you what forms or instructions are needed to initiate the transfer. We can help with any tax identification, addresses, account numbers, or other UVA-related information that you may need to provide.

When obtaining a medallion guarantee at your bank or broker, be sure to bring identification as well as your most recent brokerage account statement as proof of ownership. Once your portion of the form is complete and you have obtained the necessary UVA-related information from UA Services, the form may need to be mailed or overnighted (some may even require a quick 48-hour turnaround). Fax copies are generally not acceptable.

ComputerShare
Your mutual fund shares may also be held at the transfer agent ComputerShare. ComputerShare is not a brokerage and instead requires that the shareholder initiate a transfer of ownership of the shares to UVA. Once transferred, UA Services redeems the shares and receives the proceeds via check. This process can take from six to eight weeks. The ComputerShare transfer of ownership form includes a section for new holder/recipient information. Please contact UA Services at uas@virginia.edu or 434-924-7018 to obtain that information.

Corporate Matching

Increase the impact of your gift by leveraging the generosity and encouragement of your employer.

Your company will have its own guidelines similar to these steps:


  1. Matching Gift and Volunteer Grant information provided by
    Powered by Double the Donation

  2. Get a matching gift form from your company.
  3. Fill it out and send it to:
    Address: University of Virginia
    P.O. Box 37963
    Boone, Iowa 50037
    Email: uas@virginia.edu
  4. UVA will complete the form and contact your company.
  5. Your company will send matching gift funds to UVA.
  6. You get credit for your gift, plus the match!

If you have questions, please call 434-924-7018.

Cryptocurrency

The University of Virginia is happy to consider proposed gifts of Cryptocurrency with a minimum value of $5,000. Please e-mail UAS@virginia.edu or contact your development officer for more information.

 

Giving from Hong Kong

Donors subject to taxation in Hong Kong can make a single or reoccurring tax-deductible gift (to the extent allowed by HK law) by utilizing the HK Foundation, a Hong Kong-based charity. The foundation issues gift receipts for Hong Kong tax purposes. Alumni, parents, and friends can use the HK Foundation to suggest a grant to UVA either online (select “The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia” as the recipient) or offline with this form. The gift will be received, processed, and then sent to whatever specific UVA-affiliated area or foundation the donor wishes. Chapel & York reviews gifts quarterly, so please note that the process could take several months for the funds to be received by UVA.

Giving from the United Kingdom

Donors living in the United Kingdom can make tax-advantaged gifts to UVA and specify a purpose or designation within the University by utilizing Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) of America. By using CAF America, donors may earn tax relief through the UK’s Gift Aid program. At the same time, UVA can receive Gift Aid that will increase the value of the donation. The gift will be received, processed, and then sent to whatever UVA-affiliated area or foundation the donor wishes. Donors can suggest a one-time grant to UVA online or offline by using this gift form.

Tangible Personal Property

Gifts of tangible personal property—works of art, manuscripts, rare books, and antique furnishings—help support teaching and scholarships and can greatly enhance the quality of life on Grounds. Such gifts must be appraised by an outside expert, unless an item has an apparent value of less than $5,000.

Reasons to contribute a gift of tangible personal property include:

  1. You may receive a charitable deduction for the appraised value at the time of the gift.
  2. You can make a larger donation to UVA than if you sold the gift, paid capital gains tax on the sale, and contributed cash.
  3. The gift’s value is removed from your estate, which may lower your estate taxes.

Please contact the Office of Gift Planning with any questions: 434-924-7306, giftplanning@virginia.edu.

Real Estate

Real estate can be contributed as an outright gift or to finance a planned gift, such as a charitable trust. Available options include a retained life estate, which allows the donor to continue to use the property for a certain number of years or for the donor’s lifetime. Other arrangements offer special tax advantages and lifetime income.

Gifts of real estate, such as undeveloped land, a residence, a vacation home, a farm, or commercial property, should be arranged through the Office of Gift Planning and made through the University Real Estate Foundation. The University requires the donor to bear certain costs when making a real estate gift, such as an appraisal to determine the fair market value. Also, the University deducts transaction costs from the proceeds of the sale of the property, including the closing costs, title insurance, a survey (if needed), and any taxes due before the gift is completed.

For more information, consult the Office of Gift Planning at 1-800-688-9882 or giftplanning@virginia.edu.

Stocks and Bonds

Gifts of stocks and mutual funds are coordinated by University Advancement Services. The University will direct proceeds from the sale of these assets to any school or program you wish.
