Cash

There are three options when considering a cash gift.

• You may make a gift of cash with a check or money order made payable to The University of the Arts. Mail your check to:
The University of the Arts
320 South Broad Street
Philadelphia, PA 19102
• You can call 215.717.6137 to make a credit card gift. The University accepts Visa, MasterCard or American Express.
• You can make your gift online using your credit card.

Stocks

Gifts of stock offer special tax advantages. We urge you to consult your accountant and/or attorney for tax advice about specific gifts.

1) If the stocks you wish to give are held by your bank or broker:
Securities may be transferred directly by your broker to the University's account at Merrill Lynch via the DTC system. Please contact the Advancement Office for details.

VALUATION: Your gift is considered made on the date the securities pass unconditionally from your control. For listed securities, the value of the gift is the mean between the high and low quotations on the date the gift is made.

2) If you hold the actual stock certificates:
Send or deliver unendorsed certificates by regular First Class Mail along with a letter of transmittal giving your name, address, and purpose of the gift (e.g. Annual Fund, General Scholarship Fund, etc.) to:

The University of the Arts
Advancement Office
320 S. Broad Street
Philadelphia, PA 19102

Under separate cover, mail to the same address a stock power executed in blank for each security along with a copy of your letter of transmittal. Your bank or broker can supply you with blank stock powers.

NOTE: For most expedient handling, please do not fill in the University's name as transferee on either the stock certificate or stock power, and please do not send stock certificates to a transfer agent for transfer into the University's name.

Please ask your broker to notify the University of an impending transfer to avoid delays in issuing your official gift receipt. Notifications and questions should be directed to the Advancement Office at (215) 717-6140 or development@uarts.edu.

Gifts-in-Kind

Gifts of physical property help defray costs for general operating expenses to support specific programs for students, while providing tax benefits to you. Prior to making a gift-in-kind, please contact the Advancement Office. Some gifts require an IRS form 8382 to be signed and valued by an independent appraisal. Determining the value of a gift-in-kind is the responsibility of the donor. The University may not place a dollar value on such a gift.
