The year is quickly coming to a close, and hundreds of faculty, staff and retirees have already made their 2024 donation to York University. The Division of Advancement thanks those who have chosen to create positive change at York this year.
Faculty and staff receiving donations should forward any gifts received in their departments to Advancement Services (located in the West Office Building on York’s Keele Campus) by noon on Monday, Dec. 23 to ensure timely processing and receipting. Those expecting a credit card donation over the closure period should direct the donor to the online donation page.
To receive a receipt for 2024, all cheques must be accompanied by the original envelope postmarked on or before Dec. 31.
Advancement staff are preparing for a well-deserved break over the holidays. The office will be closed from Tuesday, Dec. 24 to Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025. While the office is closed, donations can be made in two ways:
- by visiting the online donation page; or
- by telephone at 416-650-8210.
To ensure you receive a 2024 tax receipt for your donation, take note of the following requirements:
- Donations must be received on or before Dec. 31, with the cheque or credit card authorization dated Dec. 31 or earlier. This includes donations made online and by telephone.
- Mailed donations can be received in January 2025 but must have a valid postmark of Dec. 31 or earlier. Note that due to the Canada Post labour disruption, mailed donations may experience delays. Those donating are encouraged to use the online or telephone donation options to ensure timely processing.
- Cheques must be made payable to York University.
Thank you to all of you who have helped to create positive change at York University this year. Happy holidays from the Division of Advancement.
