Every Gift Counts

The ULM Foundation offers a variety of ways to give including online, checks, credit cards, money orders, gifts of stocks and securities or other assets. Choose the method that best meets your needs:

CASH

Give by check or other means of giving cash and deduct gifts up to 50% of your adjusted gross income in any one year. Carry over any excess into as many as five tax years.

TRIBUTE / MEMORIAL GIFT

Tribute or memorial gifts are a wonderful way to honor someone you admire, respect, or want to remember in a meaningful way or to celebrate a wedding, graduation, new baby, birthday, or any special occasion.

MATCHING GIFTS

Your gifts can double or triple if your company offers a corporate matching gift program. Some companies will even match gifts made by retirees and spouses of employees.
