Is my gift tax-deductible?

Temple University has operated since 1884 and became established as a nonprofit charity in 1926. Our federal tax identification number is 23-1365971. You should consult your financial planner or tax adviser to determine the exact tax advantages of any gift you are considering. We provide a receipt for all gifts that can be used to claim a tax deduction. If you need a copy of the receipt or need a receipt for your annual giving please call 215-926-2221.
Will I receive a tax receipt when I make my gift?

What is the Annual Fund and where does my donation go?
The Annual Fund is the most direct way for alumni, friends and family to support every effort at Boyer College. Donations made to the annual fund directly support the student learning experience by funding operating expenses, faculty support, library resources, special opportunities for students and more.
Where does the Boyer College need the most support?
With the increasing challenges of financing higher education, Temple University has identified scholarships as the current top giving priority. A new scholarship fund can be endowed with a minimum gift of $50,000, and there are many existing funds which would benefit from gifts of any amount.
