Please indicate your gift purpose in the memo line.

Temple University (and thereby the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts) is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent provided by the law. Temple University has operated since 1884 and became established as a nonprofit charity in 1926. Our federal tax identification number is 23-1365971. You should consult your financial planner or tax adviser to determine the exact tax advantages of any gift you are considering. We provide a receipt for all gifts that can be used to claim a tax deduction. If you need a copy of the receipt or need a receipt for your annual giving please call 215-926-2221.

Yes, all donors receive an official acknowledgment from the university that serves as a tax receipt.

The Annual Fund is the most direct way for the alumni, friends and family to support every effort at the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts. Every year, Temple students, faculty and alumni invest their time and talents in the community, the region and the world. As a donor, your philanthropic investment drives this impact. Annual gifts are truly significant and inspiring.

With the increasing challenges of financing higher education, Temple University has identified scholarships as the current top giving priority. A new scholarship fund can be endowed with a minimum gift of $50,000, and there are many existing funds which would benefit from gifts of any amount.

You can always indicate a specific purpose for your gift, such as a department's operational budget or a named scholarship fund. If you choose to make your contribution using our secure online giving form, indicate your designation by following the prompts. If you would like to send a check, please specify your designation in the memo line of the check.

Many donors choose to give in honor of a faculty member or graduate, or in memory of a loved on who believed in the power of the arts. If you choose to make your contribution using our secure online giving form, indicate who is being honored or memorialized by following the prompts. If you would like to send a check, please specify your designation in the memo line of the check. Honorees, and families of those gifts given in memoriam, will be notified of your generosity.
