Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees – doubling or even tripling the impact! Check with your HR department on this policy.
If you don’t see your employer on the list, please check with your company to see if it offers a program that will match your gift to Boston University.
You may mail your completed matching gift form to:

Boston, MA 02215
If you need BU’s EIN (Employer Identification Number) to complete the form, it is 04-2103547.
Most organizations require Boston University to verify your gift in order to make the match. To ensure a seamless transaction, please provide your organization with the address matching@bu.edu when you submit your match request.

Gifts of Securities
Donors who own appreciated securities (held for over 12 months) can make a gift of securities to SPH. The donor can claim a charitable income-tax deduction for the full value of the stock. In doing so, donors can avoid the associated capital gains tax had they sold the shares. To make a gift of securities, please contact Judie Norris at 617-353-6347 or jrnorris@bu.edu.
Planned Giving
There are different ways to make a planned gift to the School. Planned gifts have an enormous and lasting impact on Boston University, creating a legacy for BU students that lasts for generations. Planned gifts also form part of an overall financial plan that can provide you with significant benefits.
Donors may fund a planned gift through:
- Bequests
- Charitable Gift Annuities
- Deferred Gift Annuities
- Charitable Remainder Trust
- Estate Planning
- Life Insurance Policy
