There are many ways to support Indiana Tech and the Momentum campaign. We encourage you to choose the one that is best for you. The experienced staff in Institutional Advancement will work with you to ensure that your gift meets your needs and goals.
Your gift, no matter the amount, will help Indiana Tech open doors of higher education for our students and ensure their success in learning and in life.
Gifts by Check
The most common way to support Indiana Tech is with a gift by check. Please make your check payable to Indiana Tech and mail it to the following address:
Indiana Tech
Institutional Advancement
1600 E. Washington Boulevard
Fort Wayne, IN 46803
If you would like to designate your gift to a particular area or use, please include a short letter that provides these instructions or contact us in advance to discuss the areas where your support is needed most.
Gifts by Credit Card
For many people, the easiest and most convenient way to make a gift is by credit card. Indiana Tech accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. The online giving form is safe and secure; however, if you prefer to speak with someone, please call Rose Schafer (800.937.2448 ext. 2219) or Gina Schulz (800.937.2448 ext. 2404) in the Institutional Advancement office.
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds also are welcome. These often provide additional tax benefits, including the following:
- You can avoid capital gains tax on any appreciation in value. Any "gain" is taxable if you sell the securities yourself, but not if you transfer ownership to Indiana Tech.
- Your federal income tax deduction is based on the full fair market value of the securities on the date you transfer them to Indiana Tech, which may be much higher than your actual purchase price.
If you would like to transfer securities to Indiana Tech, please call Mark Richter, vice president for Institutional Advancement, 800.937.2448 ext. 2346, and discuss the transfer with him.
Indiana Tech's brokerage account information is as follows:

Gifts of Tangible Personal Property
Indiana Tech is pleased to accept gifts of tangible personal property that address a need of the school. Because of the unique circumstances surrounding gifts of personal property, our supporters are encouraged to talk with the staff in Institutional Advancement early in the process to discuss the possibilities.
Matching Gifts
Many companies provide matching gifts for their employees (a few companies also provide this to their retirees) as part of their employee benefit packages. If you plan to make a gift, you can check our database of contributing companies to see whether your gift may be doubled through a matching gift program.
Estate Gifts
Sometimes the best way to make a gift is to make Indiana Tech a beneficiary of your estate. The right approach will depend greatly on your personal situation, needs, and objectives. Accordingly, the experienced staff in Institutional Advancement is committed to helping you discover the best gift planning solution that achieves all of your financial and charitable giving goals. Please contact Mark Richter, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, 800.937.2448 ext. 2346, if you would like to have a confidential discussion.
