- Cash Gifts
Gifts of cash are the most common form of donations. Cash and checks are recorded and acknowledged through the Scarlet R Club. Checks should be made out to the Scarlet R Club.

- Credit Cards
Making a donation by credit card is one of the most convenient and quick ways to join the Scarlet R Club.

- Gifts In Kind
Rather than a monetary gift, the Scarlet R Club will accept certain gifts such as office equipment and supplies. These types of contributions allow the Scarlet R Club to offset expenses while providing support for Rutgers athletics. Gifts such as these are acknowledged and the donor receives Scarlet R Club credit as well as the tax deduction.

- Payroll Deduction
All employees of Rutgers University have the benefit of payroll deduction. Payroll deduction is a quick and easy way to make your annual gift to Rutgers Athletics. All you have to do is fill out a little paperwork and your gift will be withdrawn from your paycheck throughout the year. You'll never forget to make the gift and you don't have to worry about writing a check or paying credit card fees.

- Matching Gifts
Many corporations will match a gift made to the Scarlet R Club. Your gift to Rutgers may be matched or even doubled by your employer. Matching gift forms may be obtained through your employer (usually the human resources or personnel offices) and should be submitted with your contribution. The Scarlet R Club may be of assistance regarding questions concerning matching gift companies.

- Gifts of Stock
You may want to consider using stock instead of cash to make a gift to Rutgers. If stock you have owned for more than one year has appreciated in value since you first acquired it, you can donate it directly to Rutgers instead of selling it yourself. You can avoid a hefty capital gains tax AND you can receive an income tax charitable deduction based on the market value of the stock on the day you donate it.
