Ways to Give
How do you want to make a difference?
There are many ways to make a tax-deductible contribution to The George Washington University. They include contributions through cash, checks or credit cards, which may also qualify for a matching gift from your employer.
Gifts of stock, real estate and tangible personal property, as well as bequests and other planned gifts, provide tax benefits or even a fixed stream of income for you and GW.
Gifts of all kinds may be designated for immediate or current use or as a long-term investment through an endowment. In addition, your support may be University-wide or allocated to a particular school or program.
