Ways to Give
Cash, Checks and Credit Cards
Gifts may be made by cash, check, or through your MasterCard, Visa, or American Express credit cards. Checks should be made payable to the USF Foundation. Automatic credit card charge programs are available for annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly payments and can be set up online or in consultation with Bulls Club staff.
Gifts of Stock
The USF Foundation accepts gifts of stock on behalf of the Athletics Department. Gifts of securities may include publicly traded securities that are negotiable on the open market, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds or non-liquid business interests such as gifts of closely held or restricted securities, partnership interests, or S corporation stock that are not generally negotiable on the open market. Publicly traded securities will be accepted at fair market value as determined under Internal Revenue Service rules. Non-liquid business interests will be valued by the Foundation at liquidation. For DTC instructions or other information about giving via stock, please contact the USF Bulls Club office.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Some companies also match retirees' or spouses' gifts. If your employer has a corporate matching gift program, please obtain the required paperwork from your company and send it to the USF Bulls Club office with your gift. If you process matching gifts online, please let us know when you send your check so we can assure the match is properly credited when it is received.

Estate Gifts
USF Bulls Club members can make a lasting impact on USF Athletics - and in some cases realize lifetime tax benefits - by including USF Athletics in their estate plans. USF is prepared to work with donors on the full complement of estate giving vehicles, from simple bequests to trusts and other strategies that employ a combination of gift methods. Donors will be recognized for the estimated value of the estate gift once the gift is documented, either through written notification by the donor or donor's representative, or a copy of the relevant page(s) of the will or trust document, along with an estimated gift amount. We, of course, also respect and protect the privacy of those who wish to share estate gift plans only with appropriate university officers.
Gifts of Real Property
The USF Foundation may accept gifts of real property that meet guidelines established by its Board of Directors. If you would like to explore a possible gift of property, please contact the Bulls Club staff.
