Donation notice- Electronic and Mail-in

Thursday, December 31, 2020 - 11:59pm
As we approach the end of the calendar year, please keep the following gift processing deadlines and procedures in mind:
Checks: Gifts by check are tax-deductible in the year the check was mailed. In order to qualify as 2020 gifts, checks and envelopes showing December 2020 postmarks must be delivered and deposited by the lockbox vendor by Monday, January 4, 2021. Checks should be written as payable to Columbia University and list WKCR in the memo field. Donors may also include a note to indicate WKCR as the intended recipient. To ensure prompt processing, gifts should be sent directly to CU Gift Systems rather than to WKCR.
