Ways to Give

There are numerous ways to make a gift to University High School. Gifts are tax deductible.

Cash

Most gifts are in the form of cash. Make checks payable to University High School and mail them to:

University High School
2825 W. 116th St.
Carmel, IN 46032

 Please provide your name and class year or parent year on your check - this is important as we need to have the correct name and address information for gift acknowledgement.

Credit card

University High School accepts credit card gifts over the phone, through the mail and in person. Credit cards accepted are Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. To make a gift, simply click here .

Stock or other securities

Gifts of stock or appreciated securities can have a large tax benefit. You may take a federal income tax charitable deduction if you itemize your return. For appreciated securities held longer than one year, you can deduct the full fair market value of the gift and pay no taxes on any capital gain.

To make a gift of securities electronically, you need University High School’s DTC number. Please PDF Documentclick here to download instructions for a Gift of Securities and/or contact Jeannie Sager, 317-733-4475, ext. 107.

It is important to advise the School of a stock transfer so we can properly recognize the gift when the proceeds are received.

Pledge

If you would like to make a pledge to the annual fund, you may call, send your pledge directly to the advancement office or complete our online form. We record your pledge upon receipt and you will receive an acknowledgement from the school. All pledges must be paid by June 30.

Memorials and honors

Each year, University High School receives many gifts in memory of or in honor of friends, classmates, teachers, parents, etc. When the school receives these gifts, the development office notifies the family member(s) of the deceased (in the case of memorial gifts) or the honoree (in the case of “in honor of” gifts).

Corporate matching gifts

Many corporations match gifts made by employees and their families to charitable institutions. Many match on a dollar-per-dollar basis, which can double or triple your gift. Please contact your company’s human resources office to obtain the proper matching gift forms.

Restricted and unrestricted gifts

You may designate gifts for a specific purpose or give an unrestricted gift. Unrestricted gifts allow the school to allocate resources according to changing needs.
