What is an outright gift of cash?
An outright gift is any gift where you make a gift to St. Lawrence University. The most common way for donors to make an outright gift is to write a check payable to the charity.

Gift provides immediate support
Unlike some other gift arrangements, your outright gift will provide resources that St. Lawrence can put to immediate use. If you prefer to restrict our use of your gift in any way, please contact us so that we can be sure that we carry out your wishes.   

Maximum tax savings
You may deduct the full amount of your donation up to 60% of your adjusted gross income, providing tax savings if you itemize. You may carry forward all of your unused deduction for up to five additional years.

Ways to give cash
Most donors make an outright gift by writing a check payable to St. Lawrence University and mailing it to us. You may also make a cash gift using your credit card.
