Gifts Made By Check
The IRS has stated that a charitable gift made by check is complete at the time the check is delivered or mailed, and the postmark is evidence of the gift date. Gifts delivered by overnight courier, e.g., Federal Express, UPS, etc., are deemed to have been made when they are delivered. In order for your donation to the UW Oshkosh Foundation to be considered a tax-deductible charitable donation for the current year, it must be received or postmarked on/before December 31. All gifts made by check should be made out to: UW Oshkosh Foundation and can be mailed to:
UW Oshkosh Foundation
625 Pearl Ave.
Oshkosh, WI 54901-3556
In order to further specify how you’d like your gift to be used, please either include a letter specifying the desired designation of your gift, or write your desired gift designation on the memo line of your check.
Gifts of Stock and Securities
For stock delivery instructions, download the Delivery Instructions for Stock Gifts form. Please mail or e-mail completed form to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Foundation, Inc. before the transfer of any stock gifts so proper acknowledgement can be made. Some donations are never identified because donors fail to contact us to let us know what they gave.
When submitting physical stock certificates to the Foundation please complete and attach the Stock Power Form
If securities are sent through US mail, the last date that the stock certificate or stock power is postmarked is the gift date. It is important to send, by registered or certified mail, the unsigned certificates in a separate envelope from the signed stock power and letter of intent.
If securities are electronically transferred to the UW Oshkosh Foundation, the gift date is the day the securities enter our account. As transfers of securities often take several days to accomplish, please begin the transfer as early as possible before the end of the year in order to insure deductibility for the current tax-year.
