- How often will donors be contacted by Annual Giving?
-
Alumni and friends are usually contacted two to three times each year through
the mail. In some cases, a student may call a donor on the phone seeking
support.
- If a donor contributes early in the year, will he/she still
receive other mailings?
-
Yes. The other mailings are sent for two reasons: first, many donors like to
make more than one gift to the University in a given year; and second, the
mailings contain important information and updates about DePaul.
- What are matching gifts?
-
Many companies match the contributions made by employees. These
corporate-sponsored programs can double or even triple the value of their
employee's personal contribution without any additional obligation from the
individual donor. Please check with your employer's Human Resources Office to
see if you have a matching gift program.
- Is there any recognition for particular levels of contribution?
-
Donors who make an annual contribution of $1,000 or more are honored as members
of The President's Club. In addition, the
Cortelyou Heritage Society honors individuals who have demonstrated
their commitment to DePaul by making a planned gift that supports goals the
University will realize in the future.
- Can a gift be designated to a specific area?
-
Yes, giving money to general funds is encouraged, but a donor might want to
designate a gift to something very specific. To accomplish this, one simply
needs to make a written request and submit it along with a gift to the
University. If the donation is being made online, a designation for the gift's
use may be chosen from the list provided or specified in the "other" box
included on the form.
Donors receive full credit for gifts designated to specific needs at the University.
For more information on designating a contribution at DePaul, please contact Stewardship & Donor Relations (312) 362-8666.
- How does a memorial gift get properly attributed?
-
When making a gift as a memorial to someone, include a note with the following
information:
- Name of the deceased and date of death (copy of obituary, if possible, is very helpful).
- Name of the surviving widow, widower or family member.
- Name, address, and amount of each donation included in the envelope.
- Telephone number of the principal donor, in case there are any questions.
- Fund or program to which the contribution should be designated.
Address your memorial gift with this information to:
Office of Stewardship & Donor Relations
Special accounts may be set up in the name of the deceased. Certain restrictions apply. Please contact Stewardship & Donor Relations (312) 362-8666.
