Frequently asked questions

Find out the answers to some common questions.

Why does Northern Arizona University need donations?

State funding, tuition, and fees do not cover the total cost of what it takes to provide a university education each year.

Generosity from donors support every facet of the student experience at Northern Arizona University. Your support opens the doors for students to attend the university at a reasonable tuition rate and increases scholarships.

Your generosity attracts and maintains outstanding professors who cultivate student potential, and helps provide a myriad of programs and research opportunities that allows Northern Arizona University to offer an exceptional education.

Where do my donations go?

Your contributions to Northern Arizona University are designated according to your wishes and directly benefit the areas you choose. You can choose to designate your gift to more than one area. Simply note your preference on the gift form and how much you want to give to each area.

It’s your gift—your choice.

Can I designate my gift to more than one area?

Of course. Clearly note on the gift form how much you want to give to each area, and we’ll take it from there.

How much should I give?

Participation is the key to our success. What is important is that you choose to give, not necessarily the amount. When everyone gives a little bit, we all gain a lot, and we know not everyone can give a lot, but everyone can give something. No matter how much you contribute, you will get a recyclable grocery bag, a coupon for a yogurt parfait, and a coupon for the Northern Arizona University bookstore: it’s our way of saying "thanks."

Is my gift tax deductible?

Yes, your gift is fully tax deductible as provided by law. Once we receive your gift, you will receive a receipt verifying that your gift has been deposited into the account you have specified.
