Giving Opportunities
Your gift helps Rochester maintain the standard of excellence in teaching and research that has placed us among the top institutions in the country. When you join with other alumni, parents, and friends in supporting the University, you contribute to our efforts—Meliora!—to be “always better.”
There are several ways to give:
Giving by mail:
Write a check payable in U.S. dollars and send to:
University of Rochester
Office of Gift and Donor Records
300 East River Road
P.O. Box 270032
Rochester, NY 14627
US
If you like, you may also print out a giving form and mail it with your check.
Gifts of Securities and Stocks:
By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual fund shares that have been owned for more than one year, donors can avoid capital gains tax. They also receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift.
A security’s gift value is determined by its fair market value on the day you make the gift. In the case of certificates mailed to us, the date of gift is the date of mailing; if the shares are transferred to the University on the books of a broker or agent, then the gift date is the date of transfer.
To make a gift of securities or stock, please contact Debbie Rossi at 585 275-3903 for specific instructions.
