Is my gift tax-deductible?
The Louisiana Tech University Foundation (TAX ID 72-6021176) is recognized as a 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS requires non-profit organizations to provide donors with a good faith estimate of the value of any benefits received as a result of their contribution, and the value of any related benefits received by the donor must be subtracted from the amount of the contribution. If a benefit is immediately known, it is listed. Benefits considered insubstantial by the IRS do not need to be considered when determining the tax deductibility of a contribution. Please consult your tax advisor with any specific questions or concerns.
When will my credit card be charged?
Immediately! Your card will be charged upon finalizing your gift.
What address should I use?
Be sure to enter the address that is associated with the credit card you're using; otherwise the transaction could decline.
