You may specify where your MU gift goes – to scholarships, to programs, to facilities, or athletics. These are “restricted” gifts. Donations without specified designations are considered “unrestricted” and will be allocated to the most pressing need determined by the University.

Thousands of student success stories unfold every year at MU because of scholarships. Endowed Scholarships are permanently invested funds that grow and yield financial support for generations of students. Annual Scholarships can be renewed year after year. Both types can be designated for specific student criteria. Explore Scholarships.

By giving stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to MU, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction.

We encourage support for all MU student clubs and organizations! These important donations are for the sole benefit of club members and activities. Therefore, these gifts are not eligible for charitable tax deductions.

If you are a student planning a club/group fundraiser, please consult the Methodist University Student/Club Organization Handbook and the Campus Engagement Office for guidance.

Automatic deductions from your credit or debit card add up to a significant annual contribution, and you won’t receive quarterly direct mail solicitations in the mail. Visit the online gift form and check the box to “Make this a sustaining gift.”
