I have a question about my gift, my confirmation email, or my receipt. Who do I contact?
Please contact us at giving@uth.tmc.edu.
Will I receive a receipt for my contribution?
Donors who make a gift online will receive an email confirmation from Scalefunder, our Giving Day platform, acknowledging their donation. A physical receipt from UTHealth Houston will also be mailed for tax purposes. Donors who make a gift by mail will only receive a physical receipt.
Is my UTHealth Houston Giving Day contribution tax-deductible?
Yes. Gifts made to the institution on UTHealth Houston Giving Day are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Is there a minimum donation?
Yes, there is a $5 minimum donation.
Will my name or donation be visible online?
When you make your donation online, you will have the opportunity to make your name and/or gift amount anonymous when you reach the "Donor Wall Settings" portion of the donation page. Otherwise, it will appear publicly. Gifts received through the mail will be uploaded to the donation site following the event and will be listed with an undisclosed gift amount by default unless otherwise notified.
Are matching gifts accepted?
Yes. Donation matches offered by your employer can double the impact of your gift! Some employers may also match gifts made by the spouses of employees. You can use our gift matching tool or check with your company or organization to see if they will match your gift. If you have any questions about making a matching gift, please contact us at giving@uth.tmc.edu.
Can UTHealth Houston employees give through payroll deduction?
