Year-end Gift Giving to ILR
December 2008
If ILR is in your year-end charitable giving plans, please be aware that the University is officially closed from December 25 through January 2.
Questions about making a gift before year-end can be directed to the following toll free number: 1-800-279-3099. This line will be staffed by Cornell’s Annual Fund staff during the holiday break. If you have questions specific to ILR, Chris Crooker in ILR Alumni Affairs and Development will be available at 607-255-5827. (If you do not reach him directly, please leave a message; he will get back to you.)
You can make a gift online at: www.alumni.cornell.edu. Thank you for your interest, your involvement and your support, and please remember to CHECK THE ILR BOX to direct your giving to ILR. Happy holidays!
**Please Note: The IRS defines the transfer of ownership as the date of mailing if done through US Mail. We ask that donors use the US Postal Service instead of an overnight carrier by December 31st to count for tax year-end.
Credit Card charges:
• Per Cornell's credit card processing company, gifts charged to credit cards are only guaranteed until 5 pm EST 12/22/08. The University’s Information Services staff will continue taking and processing gifts until noon on Dec. 31st, but will not be able to guarantee that the charge will be reflected on the donor’s credit card statement for 2008.
• Donors can call the Cornell Fund 800 line (1-800-279-3099) or make a gift on-line.
