Your Gift, in any Amount, Makes a Difference
There are so many ways to make a truly lasting impact at Carnegie Mellon.
Your gift can be designated to a specific college or program that has affected your life or career. It can also be earmarked for the endowment, where it will continue to benefit future generations of Carnegie Mellon students and faculty.
If you do not have a specific area of the university in mind, a gift to the Annual Fund is extremely valuable because it helps Carnegie Mellon allocate funding to fill its greatest needs.
However you choose to make your gift, your support is most appreciated!

There are many ways to give to Carnegie Mellon:
- Cash, like any gift to Carnegie Mellon, can be designated to a purpose that you decide. Your gift can also be unrestricted, which allows the university to allocate funding wherever it is needed the most. Make your gift online today.
- Gifts of securities can be used to make a variety of gifts, including a life income plan that generates income to you or your beneficiary over a lifetime or a period of years. These plans are part gift to the university and part income stream to you, the donor. They also provide a partial charitable tax deduction in the year of the gift. Please download “Making a Stock Gift” (PDF document) and follow the instructions on the form.
- Carnegie Mellon’s gift planning office can provide you with sample bequest language that has helped many alumni and friends remember the university in their wills. For more information about estate planning, visit the planned giving website.
- Many companies match or exceed charitable contributions made by their employees. To see if you are eligible for a matching gift, please contact your benefits or human resources department or view the list of participating companies.
- Payroll deduction (for Carnegie Mellon faculty and staff only) is an easy way to make your gift in manageable monthly payments. Please download and follow the instructions on the "Payroll Deduction" form (PDF document).
