Gifts to The Toro Fund are unrestricted, which means they immediately support the areas of greatest need. Please visit the Current Priorities page for more information on what the Toro Fund is currently supporting.

Your contribution also supports our participation rates, which many major gift donors use to determine the recipient of their next major gift. Every gift means one more person supports our university and our students. Imagine the impact if every one of our 100,000 alumni participated this year!

A pledge is a promise to make a donation. A rising donor can turn their pledge into a tax-deductible gift by sending in their contribution online, over the phone, or by check.

Many employers offer matching gifts as a benefit to their employees. If you work for a qualified matching gift company, your gift to the Toro Fund can be doubled or even tripled. For example, if you give $250 to the Toro Fund, your employer will send an additional check of $250, doubling your impact!

Ask your human resources or personnel department to find out if your employer participates.
