GIVING ONLINE:

Giving online is now easier than ever!  You can visit http://giving.yale.edu/ and choose Make a Gift. Please follow the instructions below. Your gift will make an immediate impact on that team.

  • You will be directed to Yale's online giving mechanism - Giving to Yale. This is the website which allows for online enrollment in athletic team associations as well as donations to Yale for other purposes.  

  • Follow the instructions to Make a Gift or Pledge Payment By Credit Card Now

  • You will then be asked to designate your gift type (i.e. New Gift)

  • Next you will be asked to designate what you would like your donation to Support. If you are making a donation for the purpose of joining an association or simply making a donation to a specific Sport, select "Specific Sport" - this will prompt a drop down menu for you to select the specific sport you would like to support.

  • Note: If your donation falls within the thresholds designated by your association, you will automatically be enrolled in the association. If your donation qualifies for parking or other benefits, you will be contacted by a member of the athletic association to specify these aspects of your membership.

PLANNED GIVING:

Bequests have a profound and lasting impact on Yale Athletics and are a significant source of support for the University. The continuation and expansion of this tradition of remembrance will contribute to future financial strength and excellence.

For many alumni and friends, a bequest is a simple way to make a gift. A commitment made today can influence the future of Yale Athletics with no effect on your resources during your lifetime. Bequests can be in the form of cash, securities, real estate or other property. You may designate a specific dollar amount, a particular asset, a fixed percentage of your entire estate, or leave your residuary estate after you have provided for loved ones. http://yale.planyourlegacy.org

DONATING AMEX OR OTHER CREDIT CARD POINTS:

Patrons of American Express and other credit card companies have ways of donating their unused credit card rewards points to their favorite Yale Team.  For example, visit the amex.justgive.org website and choose the first YALE UNIVERSITY option from the GuideStar database.   (Yale’s contribution processing will be listed as the point person)  Notes will allow you designate the donation to your favorite team. There is a way to designate the donation and I did to: "Yale Swimming & Diving Association".
