Gifts to UNIS can be made in a number of ways. Methods of donations include:
CHECK
Please make checks payable to UNIS, and send to the attention of the Annual Fund.
Credit Card
Visa, Mastercard, or American Express cards are gratefully accepted. Gifts are recognized at full value on the date that a charge is processed. Please call Laura Bethea in the Development Office at 212-584-3171 if you prefer to make a credit card gift by phone. Or make a secure gift online by selecting the "Donate Now" button on this page.
Matching Gifts
Many employers have a matching gift policy that can
double or
triple the amount of donation by an employee or their
spouse. UNIS credits the individual donor for the total gift; and,
matching gifts may be used to complete campaign pledges. This is a valuable way to help UNIS by leveraging your donation.
Securities
UNIS will gladly accept contributions of publicly traded stock and in most cases, will accept stock held in corporations. By donating gifts of appreciated stock, donors generally deduct the current fair market value and do not pay tax on the appreciation. Please call the Development Office 212-584-3052 for a copy of the Notification Form. Complete the form and send to Chris Podskoc at Smith Barney: 212-492-6945
Wire Transfer
Please contact Polly Lyman, Director of Annual Giving, at 212-584-3052 for assistance with wire transfers.
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
Gifts of real estate may also be given within certain guidelines. Gifts of art, coins, or other collections may be accepted within the guidelines of UNIS's Gift Acceptance Policy.
