Online Gifts
Stanford's secure website for giving is a convenient way to make a gift. Use the drop down menu on the giving page to select where you would like your gift to go.
Honorary and Memorial Giving
If you would like to honor someone close to you or memorialize a departed one's legacy in a way that helps and heals others in need, please consider providing a gift to support one of Stanford's life-changing medical funds in their name.
Pledges
By spreading payments over a period of time—typically not more than five years—pledges allow donors to make larger commitments and fulfill them at a comfortable pace.

Gifts of Securities
Donors who choose to give appreciated securities can receive a charitable tax deduction for the full market value of the securities and avoid capital gains tax. Publicly traded securities held in a brokerage account may be transferred electronically to Stanford University.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match the charitable gifts of their employees. To find out if your company offers a matching-gift program, please visit our database.
