Does my donation to UStarter benefit the project?

Yes, gifts made through UStarter directly support the designated project, whether or not the project reaches its fundraising goal.

How can I support projects in addition to donating?

In addition to making a gift, you can expand your impact by sharing a project with your friends and family. Whether through email, Facebook, or the occasional tweet, helping to promote projects to a larger audience makes a big difference.

Is my contribution tax-deductible?

Yes, the University of Utah is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and gifts are tax deductible to the extent the law allows. Please consult your tax advisor for any tax-related questions. For more information regarding tax deductibility on your Utah athletics giving, please contact the U’s Crimson Club at crimsonclub@huntsman.utah.edu.

Will I receive a receipt for my contribution?
