There are several ways to make your gift. The University Development site provides more information about the options below.

  • Cash, Check, and Credit Card
    Gifts of cash are the easiest and most direct way to give to Penn State and are fully deductible for individuals who itemize on their federal income tax return.
  • Electronic Funds Transfer
    Make monthly gift payments of $10 or more by having it deducted directly from the banking or savings account of your choice.
  • Matching Gifts
    Penn State Altoona alumni, parents, and friends can maximize personal contributions to the college—sometimes by double or triple the amount—by taking advantage of a company's matching gift benefits.
  • Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds
    You can donate appreciated securities to Penn State Altoona, which is a great way to support the college while possibly providing you with significant tax benefits.
  • Gift Planning
    Gift planning offers you the chance to give now or after your lifetime and allows you to align your charitable giving with your overall financial and estate plans.
