Terms and Conditions

1. I certify that I do not benefit from or control the Foundation account to which these funds will be contributed. Contributions are NOT tax-deductible if the donor retains control of or benefits from the donated funds. For example, a department chair’s contribution to his/her department discretionary account or an employee’s gift to a scholarship fund for which he/she serves on the selection committee will not be counted as charitable gifts according to IRS guidelines. In these situations, the Foundation will not issue a charitable gift receipt. When individuals contribute to accounts over which they have no expenditure control (i.e. no signing authority) and from which they receive no benefit, their gifts are considered charitable and the Foundation can issue charitable gift receipts.

2. I hereby authorize and request the Ohio University Payroll Office to deduct the amount(s) designated from my paycheck each pay period, and to remit the withheld amount(s) to The Ohio University Foundation. This authorization will continue in effect until the identified stop date or until termination of my employment with Ohio University. This authorization may be revised or rescinded at my discretion with written notice via email to payroll@ohio.edu or via campus mail to the Payroll Office, Grosvenor 324 Athens OH 45701.
