How to Give - University Development
All gifts will be received by the Office of Development and will be deposited into a group’s ASSU 2800 - General Account. Teams cannot collect donations directly.
Donors can give directly through the university’s Office of Development website. The follow steps outline the process:
- Go to give.stanford.com
- Under Direct your gift, please select “Other Stanford Designation” at the end of the list
- Enter “ASSU: Stanford Pickleball Club - 5197”
- Complete personal and credit card information and finalize online gift process
Club Sports encourages all teams to opt for directing their donations towards their ASSU 2800 General account via Stanford’s Office of Development (OOD) for greater financial flexibility.
Donations that go through OOD qualify as tax-deductible and will receive an acknowledgment from Stanford proper; the money will then be deposited to a club’s ASSU 2800 general account.
Donations will be viewable via reference numbers in the 2800 account deposit description. The information will include the donor name so that the team can reach out to the OOD and send an acknowledgment to the donor.
Other Ways to Give
Donors can give via pledges, phone, mail, or wire transfers as well. Instructions for those methods can be found at the bottom of the give.stanford.edu site. Donors MUST specify the designation as the Club Sports Team name wherever possible, ex: adding the team name to the check memo line.
Important Note Regarding ASSU
The ASSU CANNOT accept any direct donations on behalf of any team. All donations must be processed via the Office of Development (OOD). If a team receives a donation check, it must be forwarded to the OOD for processing. Once OOD processes the donation, they will send a journal transfer to ASSU specifying the team, at which point the funds will be deposited into the team’s 2800 general account. All questions regarding donations should be directed to the OOD.
