Anyone who wants to contribute to the Staff/Faculty Hardship Fund can do so in one of three ways:
o payroll deduction
o direct contribution with cash, check, or money order
o Master Card or Visa credit card
For payroll deduction contributions, send a memo to Gift Records, 201 Alumni Hall, and include this information:
1. Name and social security number.
2. Address.
3. Whether you are a Medical Center or university staff or faculty member.
4. Whether you are exempt (monthly paycheck) or non-exempt (every two weeks paycheck).
5. Total amount of your gift.
6. How much you want deducted per pay period.
7. The Hardship Fund¹s budget number, which is 4-55-210-9602.
For a direct contribution, you may either drop your contribution in a collection point at the Courtyard Cafe, Vanderbilt Hair Salon, or other area around campus, or bring your cash, check, or money order to 201 Alumni Hall, along with a memo outlining the same information above (except for number 6). The Hardship Fund¹s number should be written on the check or money order.
For credit card contributions, call Gift Records at 322-2979, or hand deliver a memo to 201 Alumni Hall with the information numbered above, plus your telephone number, credit card number, credit card expiration date, and whether the card is a Master Card or a Visa.
Since any donation or reimbursement is voluntary, the university will treat this money as a gift; gifts to the university are tax deductible.
