Emory FAQ

How much of my donation goes to the cause?

Unless otherwise stated on a specific Momentum project, 100% of your gift goes directly to the cause. Please note, while a group using Momentum states, on their page, their needs for funding, they may use funds raised for any purpose consistent with their mission at Emory.

Is my donation a charitable contribution?

Gifts to projects featured on Momentum are considered charitable contributions to Emory University. All gifts are tax-deductible minus any benefit (FMV) received and to the extent provided by law.

Will I receive a receipt for my contribution?

Yes! You will receive an email confirmation right after you make your gift. You will then receive a mailed gift acknowledgement letter and tax receipt from Emory University.

How can I double my donation?

Thousands of companies match gifts to higher education, which can double or triple your gift. To find out if your employer (or your spouse's employer) has a matching gift program, please visit https://together.emory.edu/matching-gifts.

If so, please contact your Human Resources representative for a matching gift form. You may need to provide Emory's Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the form, which is 58-0566256. 

What are my payment options?

You can donate via debit or credit card, Venmo, PayPal, or ApplePay. No matter which option you choose, you will be charged immediately after you complete the transaction for your gift on Momentum.

Can I give by mail or phone?

Momentum provides a platform to easily make online gifts. If you are interested in giving to a particular Momentum project by phone or mail please follow giving instructions here and be sure to include the name and link of the Momentum project that you’d like to support. Thank you for your support! 

Who should I contact with questions about my contribution?

Are you a current student, faculty, staff member, alumnus/a, or friend (i.e. anyone who loves Emory!) interested in using Momentum to fund your University project? If so, email us at annualgiving@emory.edu for more information.
