• Make Your Monthly Gift via Credit Card or Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)

  You can support CBU without ever writing another check. Spread your gift over the fiscal year with credit card payments or by authorizing your bank to transfer a predetermined monthly amount (minimum monthly gift of $10). Monthly giving benefits the University by eliminating the costs associated with mailings, phonathons, and by simplifying the recording and receipting operations. To enroll in the program, please call the Advancement Office with your credit card information or print and fill out the EFT form (PDF) and mail it along with your voided check to the address above.

Gifts of Art

Works of art may be donated to CBU at once, incrementally over a period of time, at a future date of your choosing, or through a planned bequest. Current tax law favors collectors who donate art to universities which have galleries creating a mutually beneficial partnership; the donor receives an income tax charitable deduction and CBU expands its collection. For more information about the campus gallery and its collections, please visit the Beverly & Sam Ross Gallery website, or contact the Gallery Director/Curator of Art & Special Collections, at (901) 321-3243 or the Vice President for Advancement at (901) 321-3270.
