Online
Please use the instructions above for Online and identify the person you'd like to honor either in the In Honor of or In Memory of fields on the giving form.
Payroll Deduction
Please use the instructions above for Payroll Deduction. Note that it is not possible to do just one payment in memory/honor of someone – the entire deduction must be made that way. You'll need to include this information in the email when submitting your payroll deduction form to gifts@uidaho.edu.
By signing up for payroll deduction you can give a little each pay period and have it add up to a significant amount by the end of the year. As an added benefit to giving, employees and retirees are eligible to receive President's Circle benefits with annual, cumulative giving of $1,300 or more — or $50 per pay period over the fiscal year. Please complete the Payroll Deduction Form.
Many organizations match employee gifts made to the University of Idaho. To learn more, please email Bobbi Hughes in the Engineering Advancement office or call 208-885-5303.
When you create your legacy gift for U of I through a charitable IRA rollover, you receive tax advantages.
Benefits of Charitable IRA Rollovers
- Avoid paying tax on your required minimum distribution this year. The distribution will not count as taxable income for this year, helping keep you in a lower tax bracket.
- The transfer is not subject to limitations on itemized deductions.
- Enjoy a quick and easy estate tax reduction.

Qualification & Information
- You must be at least 70½ years old.
- Your gift can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution for the year.
- You pay no income tax on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.
- You can transfer up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as the University of Idaho Foundation. This opportunity applies only to IRAs and not other types of retirement plans.
- If you will be writing a check from your IRA account, please mail by November 30, 2019 to ensure that it clears your account before December 31, 2019. Even if your IRA administrator writes the check, please note that your gift to the University of Idaho must be received by December 31, 2019 to qualify for this year.
