Give a Gift

Methods of Giving

There are several ways to make a gift to Texas Wesleyan. Some of the methods are more commonly used, but all can be used to make an outright gift to the University or to make a planned gift through one’s will or through a trust.

Cash/Check – The method most frequently used to make a gift to the University is a personal check. Checks should be made payable to Texas Wesleyan University.

Bank Draft – You can set-up monthly giving via bank draft from your checking account. The University processes bank draft charges the last week of each month.

Credit Card – Wesleyan can accept gifts and pledge payments made with a credit card by mail, by telephone, by fax or online. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.

Gifts of Securities – Publicly traded securities, shares of stock in closely-held companies, bonds and government issues may be given to the University.

Gifts of Real Estate – The University may accept gifts of real estate, including homes, condominiums, commercial properties, farmland, rental properties and undeveloped land after a thorough review of several factors, including an appraisal, a marketability assessment and an environmental assessment. Gifts of this nature normally take 60-90 days to complete. If considering such a gift, please allow for the appropriate time to complete the transaction.

Gifts of Tangible Personal Property – The University may accept gifts of tangible personal property, including works of art, jewelry, antiques, coins, stamps and other collections, automobiles, manuscripts, books, etc. that are in line with the University’s educational objectives. To accept gifts of this nature, the University may require donors to also make a cash gift for an endowment to underwrite the maintenance and/or display of the property.

Non-traditional Gifts – The University may accept gifts of non-traditional investments, such as partnership interests, after a thorough review of several factors, including the nature of applicable restrictions.
