If you’re planning to make a gift before December 31, review the information below to ensure your contribution qualifies for a 2025 tax receipt.
The Fastest and Most Secure Way to Give
Give online by 11:59 p.m. (CT) on December 31, 2025
Our secure giving site is available 24/7. Giving online is the quickest and most reliable way to ensure your gift is counted for 2025.
Important Update: USPS Postmark Changes
Beginning December 24, 2025, USPS machine-applied postmarks will reflect the date mail is processed — not the date you mailed it.
To avoid delays that could affect the tax year eligibility of your gift, we strongly recommend giving online before midnight on December 31.
