Matching Gifts
Did you know that more than 26 million people work for companies with employee matching gift programs? Over 65% of companies offer to match donations dollar for dollar. Learn more about your employer’s matching gift program by entering the company’s name in the search box below.
Donor-Advised Funds
You can recommend a grant or recurring grant from your existing Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) to make an immediate impact. uAspire’s Federal Tax ID # is 46-1314848.
Using an existing DAF is also an easy way to leave a legacy gift to uAspire. You can do this by naming uAspire as the beneficiary of a percentage of your remaining DAF balance. Since the funds are already held at a charity, you do not need to use a will or trust to fulfill your legacy gift intention.
Gifts of Stock or Mutual Funds
Giving a gift of stock or securities to uAspire is an easy and efficient way to support our mission, and there are benefits to you. The market value of a gift of stock and securities is tax-deductible, just like any other charitable contribution. Also, by giving stock or securities, you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of the asset.
To donate stock or mutual funds to uAspire, please contact our Advancement Team.
