How to Give

Donations to Africa Universities Fund, Inc. are tax-deductible to the extents of US Laws. Donors must clearly designate the purpose of their gifts and for which university scholarship, grants, etc. the gift supports, to be eligible for a tax deduction. The Board of Directors of the Fund will then consider, approve and appropriately allocate the gift to the designated program or university. AUF acknowledges in writing all donations received and must acknowledge the donor’s request for their gift to be designated for a specific purpose, program or university

Matching Corporate Gifts

As a donor, you can double or even triple your contribution with matching gifts! Many companies in the United States  “match” the charitable contributions made by their current and retired employees. Through corporate gift matching, your employer can double, even triple your gift to Africa Universities Fund, Inc, making it go further to support public universities in Africa. Some organizations that provide corporate matching gifts include Fidelity, AT&T, United Way, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, and ExxonMobil. Please remember:

  • Each participating company has its own guidelines for employees, spouses, retirees, and widows/widowers.
  • Inquire with your company’s HR department to see if they participate in matching gift program.
