Any gift—whether one-time, recurring or a pledge—can be designated as an honorary or memorial gift. To do so, go to this form, choose a fund and then complete the "In honor of" or "In memory of" fields after completing your gift transaction.
You may also designate your gift when donating by phone or by mail.
If you have established a multi-payment pledge with regularly scheduled payments, you can fulfill your payments online when making a gift. Visit this form, search for your fund, check the box next to "This is a payment on an existing pledge" and complete the form. This will help us connect your gift to your pledge. You can also fulfill your pledge, or make changes to it, by calling us at 303-541-1290.
CU faculty and staff can set up a recurring monthly gift through an automatic payroll deduction. Please contact Gift Management at payroll.deductions@cufund.org with gift related payroll deduction questions. For questions about your monthly deduction, please contact CU Employee Services at hcm_community@cu.edu.
When giving online, select “Make this gift recurring” and your gift will recur monthly. Recurring gifts continue in perpetuity until you request to cancel or change them. To set up, change or cancel a recurring gift, please email gifts@cufund.org or call 303-541-1290.
A gift of cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it from your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency gifts among the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause.
When you give crypto to the University of Colorado Foundation, we immediately transfer your coins to cash. Your gift will fund your favorite CU campaign. If you know the name of the fund you wish to give to, you can type the name in the donation notes field.
Please note: All cryptocurrency gifts made to CU are non-refundable. Please only send currencies listed in the “Select Your Crypto” dropdown menu. Do not send unsupported currencies (including unsupported ERC-20s, ERC-721s and BEP20s), as these may be lost.
Online gifts may be made with a credit or debit card; Venmo, PayPal, Google Pay or Apple Pay account; or a bank transfer, which deducts your gift payment directly from your personal checking or savings account.
Proceed through checkout, select “Pay with Bank Transfer” in the payment form and follow the prompts.
Please note: If you choose the manual bank account verification option, your gift cannot be processed until you confirm two micro-deposits that will appear in your account in 1-4 business days.
To make a gift over the phone using your credit card, please call the number below and a CU Foundation representative will be happy to accept and process your gift.
