The quickest and easiest method is via payroll deduction. You can set up or change your payroll deduction by visiting our Employee Payroll Deduction Hub. You can also make a one-time or recurring gift by visiting our donation page. If you prefer to give via check or cash, please contact Tess Fontanetti-Rice at [email protected].
The minimum amount for payroll deduction is $1 per paycheck and $10 for credit card donations.
Payroll deduction is fast and easy. A payroll deduction of just $5 per paycheck adds up to a $120 contribution by the end of the year. If every employee on campus gave just $5 per paycheck, it would equal nearly half of a million dollars for the University to use for scholarships, program development and building construction.
Once you complete the Employee Payroll Deduction Form, the amount you specify will be automatically deducted from each paycheck. Please note that it may take one or two pay periods for a new or updated deduction to take effect due to the payroll processing cycle and the timing of form submission.
Your payroll deduction will continue until you choose to make a change. To manage your deduction—whether you want to adjust the amount, add a new gift, or cancel it altogether—simply revisit the Employee Giving Hub and select the appropriate option:
Terminate my current donation
Replace it with a new donation
Keep my existing donation and add an additional one
A charitable receipt summarizing your payroll deductions will be mailed to you in January for tax purposes.
Part-time employees may sign up for payroll deduction. If there is a pay period in which you did not receive a paycheck, no donations will be processed. Your usual donation amount will be deducted from your next paycheck. Donations will not be deducted “in arrears” in a cumulative amount.
One-time or recurring gifts are also appreciated and simple to do on our donation page. If you prefer to donate via check, stocks, property, using a Donor Advised Fund, or utilizing an IRA rollover, please contact Vicky Hopper at 801-863-5426 or [email protected].
Yes. All donations are processed through the Utah Valley University Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please keep the official receipt received for your tax records. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please consult with your tax advisor to determine if your gift is tax-deductible as a charitable contribution.
PACE provides an opportunity to create a culture of exceptional care by contributing a non-charitable $0.50 per paycheck through the Goodwill Association. Funds are used to send well wishes and floral baskets for various reasons to UVU employees. To learn more about this program, click here.
Even though UVU does not offer a matching gift program, many employers will match a spouse's charitable contribution and/or volunteer hours. To find out if a company you have connections with offers a matching gift program, please click here. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form and submit it to [email protected].
Many people choose a long-term approach to giving using a bequest, will, annuity, or trust. The tax benefits vary depending on the type of gift chosen. Different gift types allow you access to your funds in case you need them, as your donation will take place after you have passed on. If you are interested please visit us at www.uvgift.org.
You may also leave a physical imprint on campus by naming a UVU bench. A named bench can also be used to honor the accomplishments of individuals or organizations or can be designated in memoriam of a loved one, professor, colleague, friend, etc. Your gift to the Presidential Commemorative Bench project will FOREVER improve the campus landscape and help support the academic success of a UVU Presidential Scholar.
