Loyola University Chicago

There are as many ways to give to Loyola as there are reasons to give. Our dedicated and knowledgeable advancement staff is ready to answer any questions you have, to ensure that your gift supports the recipient of your choice, and that you and your family can derive the maximum benefit from your generosity.   

For more information please call 1.800.424.1513 or e-mail advancement@luc.edu.  

Gifts of cash

Cash is the most popular type of charitable gift, for its simplicity and ease of delivery. A gift of cash is considered made on the date it is hand-delivered or postmarked. So a year-end contribution made by a check that is mailed in late December is deductible for that year even though it is not received until January.

Checks or money orders may be made payable to:

Loyola Annual Giving
Loyola University Chicago - Gift Processing
Department 4336
Carol Stream, IL 60122

- or -

LUMC Annual Giving
2160 South 1st Ave.
Bldg 201-4810
Maywood, IL 60153

If you wish to direct your gift of cash to a specific school or program, or provide other information regarding your gift, please write the school or program name in the memo line of the check, or provide a note with your gift.

Gifts by credit card

Loyola welcomes your gift by credit card. Loyola accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.

Gifts by credit card may be made here, or by contacting Loyola's Annual Giving Office at 1.800.424.1513 

Electronic Funds Transfer

If you wish to make a gift by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), Loyola will send you the appropriate forms to complete. If you wish to direct your gift, or provide other instructions, you may do so here. The minimum annual contribution for EFT is $120 ($10 monthly, $30 quarterly) deducted from either your checking or savings account. For more information, please contact the Annual Giving Office at 1.800.424.1513.

Gifts of real estate, stock, retirement assets, or other property

Different types of gifts can bring you and your family different benefits. Gifts other than cash can trigger income, capital gains, and estate taxes, but there are many giving strategies that can keep more of your assets in your pockets while also benefitting Loyola. Our Office of Planned Giving is ready to provide you with all the help and information you need to tailor a giving strategy to best fit your circumstances and goals.
