Sacramento State FAQ
Can I donate for my company using a company credit card?
Yes! However, in order to ensure that we maintain appropriate tax data, you must indicate that you are using a company credit card and provide the name of the company that should receive tax information. You can do this in the question that follows the "Billing Address" section. Please note that the tax receipt emailed following this transaction should be forwarded to your company's appropriate personnel and cannot be used for personal tax benefit.
Can I make a donation using my personal card for my company who will reimburse me later, and have the company claim the donation and tax-deduction?
No. Unfortunately, we can only provide legal credit to the individual or entity that makes payment at the time of this transaction.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes! Gifts are made through the University Foundation at Sacramento State, a 501(c)(3) organization.
