University of Minnesota Foundation
C-M 3854
P.O. Box 70870
St. Paul, MN 55170-3854 Visit the University of Minnesota Foundation website to learn about other ways to make cash gifts. If you itemize your deductions, you may deduct gifts of cash up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income in a given year. If your gifts exceed this amount, you may carry forward the excess deduction on your income tax returns for up to five additional years. Cash gifts are considered to be transferred on the date they are hand-delivered or mailed. For example, a year-end gift might not be received until January, but it is still deductible for the previous year if it has a December postmark.
Matching Gifts Double the impact of your gift! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Request a matching gift form from your employer, complete it and send it with your gift to: University of Minnesota Foundation
