Give the Gift of Opportunity!
During this season of giving, your philanthropy will help provide countless opportunities for our students, our faculty and our world. There’s still time to make a meaningful difference before the year ends!
Please note that if you make an online gift via credit card, the date of your credit card gift is the date the gift is processed by your financial institution. Therefore, it must be processed on or before Tuesday, December 31, 2024 to be counted as a deduction in this calendar year. Credit card gifts will be processed through the end of the business day on December 31st. Mailed credit card gifts must be received by 4:30pm by Friday 12/31/24 for a calendar year 2024 charge.
If you need assistance with processing a credit card gift, transferring securities or have any other related questions, please call (302) 831-4333. Our staff will be working limited hours over the official UD holiday break and will answer or return your call promptly.

The University of Delaware appreciates your donation and your support of our mission. Our budget and ongoing financial health rely on accounting for and accepting irrevocable, non-refundable donations from the public. Therefore, the University of Delaware (UD) considers all donations to be nonrefundable. UD may consider returning donations to the donor, but only in limited circumstances. If you have made an error with your donation or changed your mind about contributing to our organization, please contact us in writing at gift-updates@udel.edu. Depending on the circumstances, UD will consider your request if it is made within ninety (90) days of the original donation. UD may ask for proof of identity before issuing a refund, and refunds are normally returned using the original method of payment. For example, if your donation was made by credit card, your refund will be credited to that same account. You are responsible for all tax considerations that may arise if your donation is refunded.
