Ways to Give to GGU
Did others help you with a scholarship funded by alumni? The GI Bill? Subsidy from your employer, friends or family? Gifts to GGU help bridge the gap between vision and reality. Golden Gate University relies on the generosity of its alumni and friends to fulfill its historic mission of providing working adults with the practical skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Won't you reach out to help educate new generations? It's hard to imagine a charitable gift that has a more far-reaching, positive effect than an investment in education. There are so many ways to give – and make a real difference.
- Annual Gifts
Use a check or credit card to make your monthly, quarterly or annual gift. Gifts to the annual fund help to close the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating students. Gifts can be made by credit card, check/money order, electronic-fund transfer (ACH) or stock transfers.
To give by credit card, please make your gift online, or call 415-442-7829 to make your gift by telephone. Mail checks/money orders to Golden Gate University, Office of University Advancement, 536 Mission St., San Francisco, CA 94105. Please call for instructions for electronic-fund transfers. Information on stock gifts is listed below.
- Matching Gifts
Match your gift through your company. You may be able to double or triple your gift by including a matching-gift form from your human-resources department along with your contribution. The tax-identification number for Golden Gate University is 94-1585735.
- Stock Gifts
Save on capital-gains taxes, and make your contribution with mutual-fund or stock shares instead of cash. If you have appreciated securities worth more than you paid for them, you gain a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the shares and avoid capital-gains tax. It's simple to do. Contact your broker with the information below and contact GGU with the date of transfer, number of shares transferred and company name of stock.
